The Research Foundation for Governance in India (RFGI) is a think tank based in Ahmedabad, India, with the aim to research, promote, and enact legal and political changes in Gujarat and across India. RFGI acts as a consultant to help implement government reforms. The Foundation researches issues for legal reform in law and governance. It also sponsors public events to raise awareness, especially among youth.

RFGI’s definition of governance is based upon the one given by the European Commission:

"rules, processes and behaviour that affect the way in which powers are exercised…. particularly as regards openness, participation, accountability, effectiveness and coherence"

The Foundation is a non-partisan and independent organization which does not support any ideology, specific candidate, or party.
