C. Raja Mohan’s appointment as Director of the Motwani Jadeja Institute for American Studies at O.P. Jindal Global University is more than an academic shift; it’s a strategic signal. With decades of shaping India’s foreign policy discourse, his move to lead a U.S.-focused institute signals India’s deepening intellectual engagement with America. Not just diplomacy; but ideas, research, and future leaders. For aspirants eyeing foreign policy, IR, or think tanks, this is your cue: the next generation of India-U.S. strategists will be trained here. Mohan’s focus on defence, tech, and energy? That’s where the future jobs and policy impact lie. Watch this space; it’s about to become the think tank hub you didn’t know you needed.
