Abstract	Quad is the result of a countermeasure against Chinese expansionist design. The US-China rift has led to increased polarization and persuasion of nations to join their respective sides. With Quad emerging as one of the key multi-forums, it will provide enhanced security alliances in the post-COVID era. Indo-Pacific has largely been a dormant construct in the past; however, it will become ground for threats and power plays in the future among major global powers. Thus, it will put Beijing in a challenging position in fulfilling its great-power ambitions. India’s asymmetric partnership with the USA opens varied facets of a multi-aligned position meanwhile keeping its national interest as its foremost priority. India’s foreign policy has experienced a paradigm shift towards having its realist discourse in policy which is influenced by numerous factors. This study ought to shed light upon these factors which attributes to India’s strategic autonomy with Quad.
