About

The Indian Purple Foundation (TIPF) was formed in 2010 by a group of Indian military officers, who made a successful transition into civilian life. The goal of TIPF was to provide a collaboration platform for sharing experiences and exchanging views on various aspects of a switch from uniform to civilian life.

In alignment with TIPF’s goal, the website (https://tipf.in/) provides information and articulates different perspectives specific to the digital domain that includes Information & Communication Technologies (ICT) and cybersecurity. The topics and content are specifically crafted for helping new professionals venturing into the field.
