Policy research, government advisory and programme delivery for ministries, state bodies, trade associations, foundations and non-governmental organisations working across India.
A programme that looks strong in a launch note and thin in an evaluation is a common outcome, and usually an avoidable one. We are engaged either to design delivery properly at the outset or to establish honestly what a programme achieved once it has run. Both require the same thing: instruments set before the work starts, and a willingness to report a result nobody wanted.
Evidence reviews, comparative analysis and drafting for principals who have to defend the position in committee, in the chamber or in front of a select audience.
Counsel to ministries, state departments and statutory bodies on design, sequencing and the stakeholder consequences of a decision before it is announced.
Logic models, delivery architecture, staffing and governance — built so the programme can be run and reported by the institution that owns it.
Baselines, indicators and mid-line and end-line measurement fixed at the outset. If the instrument is designed after the intervention, the finding is decoration.
Portfolio design, partner due diligence and third-party assurance for responsibility spend — so a board can report the outcome, not merely the disbursement.
Structured consultation that reaches past the people who always turn up — deliberative panels, local-language facilitation and documented dissent.
Mapping who can be brought together on an issue, what each party needs in return, and how a coalition holds once the first disagreement arrives.
Initial conversations are treated as confidential regardless of whether an engagement opens.
Social Impact Assessment
