The Roundglass India Center is an interdisciplinary center focused on the study of contemporary India and Indian Americans. Founding Director Sital Kalantry, an expert on comparative law and human rights, has studied and written about two of the world’s largest democracies—India and the United States—for over 20 years.

The Center was created by a generous gift from the Roundglass Foundation, founded by Sunny "Gurpreet" Singh, the founder of Edifecs & Roundglass, and a philanthropist whose work is transforming the lives of millions of people in India.
The Center was born out of conversations Sunny and Sital Kalantry had about the urgent need to disseminate accurate and nuanced knowledge about India in the United States, and to encourage greater civic and philanthropic engagement among Indian Americans.
As a Center based in one of the largest private universities in the Pacific Northwest, we are uniquely positioned to train the next generation of leaders about India and to bring rigorous, evidence-based research into public dialogue about India.
