This foresight was translated further still with the establishment of the University of Pennsylvania Institute for the Advanced Study of India (UPIASI) [2], CASI’s counterpart institution in New Delhi in 1997.

UPIASI has developed a strong research program and presence of its own under the leadership of Dr. E. Sridharan (GR’89) [3], and plays a key role in facilitating CASI’s deep and distinctive research partnerships and student programs in India.
