Get involved

Four ways to work with us

We are a delivery organisation. What we need from a partner is usually a mandate, a geography and a budget — the rest is our job.

For companies

CSR partnership

Bring us a mandate and a geography. We design the programme, mobilise the community, deliver it and report on it — the model we already run with Intel, Bosch, HP, NASSCOM Foundation, Infosys and Chaitanya.

  • Digital literacy and skilling centres, roughly 1,000 students per centre per year
  • Job-oriented training mapped to roles you or your suppliers are hiring for
  • Women entrepreneurship cohorts and Common Facility Centres
  • Environment, solar and circular economy interventions inside live enterprises

For government & missions

Scheme implementation

Schemes fail at the last mile far more often than at the design stage. We handle mobilisation, documentation, training and follow-through — as we do for NRLM, the Ministry of MSME, RAMP and the RuTAGe mission.

  • Baseline surveys and ground-truth data on clusters and artisans
  • Beneficiary mobilisation and documentation support
  • Technical training delivery across districts
  • Common Facility Centre setup and SPV handholding

For foundations & funders

Fund a cluster

A cluster is a defined, costable unit of work with a visible endpoint: producers with shared equipment, a raw material bank, food safety compliance and a route to market that outlives the grant.

  • Fund an entire cluster from baseline survey through to market linkage
  • Fund a Common Facility Centre or a raw material bank
  • Fund a women entrepreneurs cohort along SWAVALAMBANE lines
  • Fund solar interventions that cut both cost and carbon in a value chain

For individuals & students

Volunteer, intern or exchange

We host students and professionals who want field exposure — including through our international student exchange programme with Maastricht University School of Business and Economics.

  • Field internships across cluster development and skilling programmes
  • Technical volunteering: food technology, design, branding, engineering
  • International student cultural and academic exchange
  • Pro bono support on evaluation, documentation and communications

What to expect

How an engagement usually starts

  1. A conversation about the problem

    Not a proposal yet. What community, what geography, what change you are trying to see, and what constraints you are working inside.

  2. Ground-truthing

    We check the reality on site. Baseline surveys are how we avoid designing a programme around an assumption that does not hold in that district.

  3. A costed design

    Soft interventions, hard interventions, timeline, beneficiary numbers and what will still be standing when the programme closes.

  4. Delivery and reporting

    We run it, with reporting against the outcomes agreed at the start rather than activity counts.
