SyedShayan.com is a research portal and independent think tank producing evidence-based analysis on Pakistan’s public policy, economy, society, and innovation.
Think tanks conduct research, test ideas, and share insights to inform public debate and improve policy decisions. While some operate with explicit advocacy agendas, we focus on non-partisan research and public education.
We are fully self-funded. Our founder and CEO, Syed Shayan, personally covers all operational costs from his own income, ensuring complete independence and freedom from outside influence.
We do not receive funding from any organisation, donor, or government. All expenses are paid directly by Syed Shayan from his personal income.
We follow transparent methodologies, verify findings using multiple data sources, subject drafts to internal review, and publicly correct any errors identified after publication.
