Our Journey
Hoodi Strategy Group was founded on a vision of bringing together deep expertise in diplomacy, technology, and strategic policy to address India's most pressing challenges in an interconnected world. Led by Professor Vijay Chandru, a renowned technology and innovation strategist, the firm draws on decades of institutional and academic knowledge, and Ambassador Latha Reddy, a seasoned diplomat with extensive international affairs experience.
Our journey began with a clear recognition of critical gaps in how India approaches complex cross-sectoral challenges. We understood that government, institutions, and enterprises need specialized advisory support to navigate the intersection of technology, security, diplomacy, and healthcare. This insight led us to our mission: to fill these gaps and provide the necessary support.
Today, operating as a Research Advisory Firm, Hoodi Strategy Group serves governments, institutions, and enterprises through evidence-based consulting, policy research, and strategic advisory services. Our research team, led by Research Associate Ashwin Dhanabalan, applies rigorous academic methodology to real-world policy challenges, with a particular focus on trade agreement negotiations and international economic integration.
Our focus is on six critical areas: Cybersecurity and Digital Governance Policy, Health Technology and Digital Health Policy, Innovation Ecosystems and Technology Transfer, Economic Integration and Trade Agreements, Strategic Risk Assessment and National Security Technology, and Diplomacy and International Affairs. Whether it is advising on FTA negotiations, developing national security technology frameworks, or strengthening public-private partnerships in emerging sectors, our mission is clear—to empower our clients with the expertise, insight, and strategic clarity needed to capitalize on opportunities while managing complex geopolitical and technological risks.
At Hoodi Strategy Group, we are committed to excellence through expertise. We strive to equip our clients with the knowledge and frameworks to lead in an increasingly complex global landscape, ensuring the highest quality of service and the best possible outcomes.
