Oxus Research and Investments was established in New Delhi, India in September 1996. The aim of the firm is to do frontier level research on emerging markets generally and India in particular. This research is specifically oriented towards financial markets. Recent publications include an analysis of the Indian Capital market; the role of Chinese mercantilism in causing the East Asian Crisis and several articles on the importance of Capital Account Convertibility to growth in developing countries.

At Oxus, we find it useful to anticipate policy reforms and use these expected policy changes as inputs in making decisions about financial markets. Thus often, the underlying theme of our research is the explicit linkage of politics and economics with markets. Presently, Oxus has one of the largest developed and developing country databases as well as a high-powered team of economists with more than 40 years of experience. The database on India is perhaps the most extensive of its kind.
