About Trivium Think Tank
Trivium Think Tank Pvt. Ltd. is an independent research institution dedicated to exploring the strategic imperatives of a Rising India through the lens of geopolitics, foreign policy and technopolitical transformation. Founded in December 2016 and headquartered in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, Trivium was born from a conviction: that researchers in India require a decentralized, non-partisan space to shape the next generation of policy discourse.
Trivium operates at the intersection of technology, security, diplomacy, governance and society—a niche yet vital space where emerging and critical technologies intersect with strategic thinking and societal progress. Our research spans the full spectrum of high-tech domains including AI, space, nuclear, biotech, synthetic biology, advanced materials, semiconductors and science diplomacy.
What sets Trivium apart is its commitment to bridging the scientific and social sciences communities, ensuring that research is not siloed but synthesized—made actionable and holistic for policymakers and public stakeholders. We believe in research that resonates beyond academia. At Trivium, science communication and societal dissemination are not afterthoughts—they are foundational. We translate complexity into clarity, liberating insights from jargon so they can serve the very society they aim to impact.
​
As an Indian institution, our ethos mirror the principles guiding India’s foreign policy, especially its mission to champion the interests of the Global South in global debates on technology governance and equitable access. Our voice reflects India's pluralism, strategic depth and cultural sensitivity—advocating for uniquely Indian solutions that are ideational, technological and humane.
About StraTechos
StraTechos strives to explore the intersection between technology and society at the political, economic and strategic realms. In today’s world, technological advances are vital to the progress of mankind. This is true whether one views it from the prism of nation-states and their ambitions in the international stage or from the point of view of the individual whose daily activities are today inextricably linked to access to various technologies. Indeed, most technological progress has effects at both a systemic and the individual level. As such, technology is a common denominator of opportunities and risks for states, private institutions and the wider society. When a state throws resources at gaining capability in one area of technology, this gives rise to opportunities for private enterprises as well as for its citizens to gain employment and potentially reap the benefits of an improved standard of living. Conversely, when a few individuals or private firms develop a niche competence in a particular technology, their commercial ventures can both benefit their consumers as well as give room for the state to use this industrial capacity and form policies to gain influence at a global stage. Hence, a compelling need for a website which captures this dynamic interplay between technology and strategy and through it, states and the global citizenry, was felt. Carrying forward Trivium Think Tank’s motto of simplifying social sciences for society, the StraTechos website is committed to presenting these complex issues in a simple, yet coherent manner. In doing so, ST will feature articles with original, objective and unique points of view that address how technological advances have an impact on strategic decision-making and vice-versa. All attempts will be made to ensure that the content featured in StraTechos is interesting to a wide reader base. By bringing an interdisciplinary outlook to matters of strategy and politics, ST will seek to reach an audience beyond just individuals connected to the International Relations field. The ambition of the website is to contribute to informed dialogue around the intersection of technology and strategy at all levels – be it in the high halls of national security decision-making and policy think tanks, or equally so in dorm rooms and at dinner tables. The content presented in ST is designed to be relevant for the whole of society and will benefit greatly from the active interaction of authors and readers from all walks of life. To this end, ST intends to present opportunities for early-career researchers and analysts to present their perspectives and encourage them to contribute to knowledge-building.
