Where We Work

Six sectors.
Real work.

We don't take work in sectors we don't know. These are the six areas where our team has built genuine knowledge — through field research, programme evaluation, and policy analysis.

This reflects experience our team has built across previous roles and institutions — not work contracted under MWR.

About this page
01
Public Health & Nutrition
Access, quality, and equity at the scale that matters.
+

Health programmes fail not because of lack of intent — but because of a lack of credible evidence about what's actually working. Most evaluations confirm the programme's assumptions rather than test them. Our team has designed and run studies built to find the real answer, not the convenient one.

Nutrition baseline across 9 blocks in Jharkhand and Odisha — survey design, CAPI deployment, data quality, and reporting
NCD tracking programme evaluation — community landscape study on non-communicable diseases, Alwar, Rajasthan
Maternal and child health baseline — RMNCH+A strategy study across low-resource settings, Odisha
Mobile Medical Unit baseline — quantitative study, field operations and monitoring, Uttar Pradesh
Mass Drug Administration study — mixed methods research to improve MDA outcomes, Uttar Pradesh

Agriculture & Food Systems
Markets, resilience, and rural livelihoods under pressure.
+

Rural India's agricultural systems are under simultaneous pressure from climate, markets, and policy. Our team brings quantitative field research and academic econometric depth — including peer-reviewed publications on agrarian systems and groundwater governance.

Rural transformation impact study — grants evaluation for agricultural livelihoods, Maharashtra and Gujarat
Water and sanitation credit study in FPOs across 6 states — Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, UP, West Bengal, Rajasthan, Gujarat
Lead farmer platform evaluation — season-end study, Samastipur district, Bihar
CSR programme evaluation for Reliance Foundation — agricultural livelihoods, farmer mobilisation, and community development impact assessment
Peer-reviewed field research on groundwater governance — published in Economic & Political Weekly

Education, Skilling & Livelihoods
From learning systems to meaningful work.
+

Education interventions are only as strong as their evidence base. Our team has assessed school-level innovation, early childhood development, skilling infrastructure, and youth engagement — with methods designed to measure what actually changes, not just what was delivered.

Atal Tinkering Labs national assessment — evaluation design, data tools, and reporting for NITI Aayog
State Skill Index development — knowledge partner for UNICEF India, data systems and monitoring
ITI grading across 6 states — Phase 2 grading of Industrial Training Institutes, Ministry of Skill Development
Early learning programme assessment — baseline study, Maharashtra
Comprehensive school education assessment — primary through secondary including Mid-Day Meal, Madhya Pradesh

04
Gender & Social Norms
Behaviour, power, and norms — in practice, not theory.
+

Counting female beneficiaries is not gender research. Our team has designed and run studies that actually measure how norms shift, what drives behaviour change, and whether an intervention is doing what it claims — including when the answer is no.

Second Chance Education endline — vocational learning programme for women, UN Women India
Concurrent evaluation of Taaron ki Toli — adolescent girls programme, quantitative tools and field monitoring
Nanhi Kali impact evaluation — CSR programme for girl child education, Uttar Pradesh
Gender and violence needs assessment — minority women across Rajasthan, Haryana, and Madhya Pradesh, UN Women
UNFPA adolescent girls endline — Sammridhhi project evaluation, Madhya Pradesh

Governance, Policy & Markets
Institutions, incentives, and delivery that holds.
+

Policy that doesn't understand implementation is decoration. Our team has sat in those rooms — advising state departments, working alongside central ministries, building strategy documents that actually had to survive contact with how Indian government works.

Growth Hubs economic strategy — four regions anchored by NITI Aayog, macroeconomic modelling for Vision 2047
iDEX scheme evaluation — independent assessment of Defence Innovation Excellence for Ministry of Defence
18 state government scheme assessments — RFP design, third-party oversight, and report finalisation, Government of Gujarat
Urban expansion research — analysis of 3,947 towns, spatial regression, policy document for GoI urban planning
Metro rail census and stakeholder consultations — socio-economic survey for Kanpur Metro Rail project

Sustainability & Climate Resilience
Systems under environmental pressure — and what holds.
+

The communities most exposed to climate pressure are often the least visible in policy. Our team has assessed how national programmes, energy transition strategies, and rural livelihood systems actually perform under environmental stress — from coal belt transitions to MGNREGA climate adaptation.

Coal mine closure impact assessment — transitioning mining communities to sustainable livelihoods, Ashoka ACPET — two rounds
MGNREGA climate resilience assessment — how India's rural employment guarantee builds resilience to climate shocks, across 4 states
Energy transition livelihood study — assessment of interventions for coal-dependent communities
GAIL CSR impact assessment — flagship programmes across 11 states including environmental and livelihood components
