The Chinfo Channel is the primary YouTube Channel of Chinmaya International Foundation (CIF). The Channel is dedicated to disseminating profound Indic knowledge to audiences worldwide.

CIF is a non-profit organisation established in 1989 and is a research centre for the study of Sanskrit and Indology. A core part of the global Chinmaya Mission, it is focused on the preservation and dissemination/transmission of Indian Knowledge traditions such as Darshana (Philosophy), Sanskrit, Vedanta, Vedic Mathematics, and Indian Management principles.

Gurudev Swami Chinmayananda envisioned CIF as a bridge between East and West, past and present, science and spirituality, and pundit and public. And this he made the Vision statement for CIF. Arising out of this vision statement is ChinfoChannel, through which the various lectures, discourses, and satsangs conducted by CIF will be shared with all aspirants and seekers of spiritual wisdom and teachers and students of Indian philosophy.
