How we strengthen institutions
We offer three interconnected service areas designed to support institutions at every stage — from strategy to execution to continuous learning.
Our engagement process
Every engagement follows a structured yet adaptive pathway designed to build lasting institutional capacity.
Diagnose
We begin by understanding the institutional landscape — its strengths, gaps, and the system dynamics that shape implementation.
Design
We co-create solutions with institutional stakeholders, ensuring every design is grounded in field reality and builds on existing capacity.
Embed
We embed execution support directly within institutions, working alongside teams through coordination, review rhythms, and adaptive management.
Sustain
We design for handover from day one, building the learning systems and institutional capacity that ensure impact outlasts our engagement.
Engagement models built for your context
We structure engagements around what your institution actually needs — not a one-size-fits-all offering. Here are the models we work with most.
Project-Based
Defined scope, clear deliverables
Time-bound engagements with a specific scope — diagnostic assessments, evaluation studies, strategy design, or program reviews. Ideal when you have a defined need and want focused, high-quality output.
Example engagements
- SLO data collection across 5,400 students
- Learning vulnerability mapping in 200 villages
- Scale-readiness assessment for program expansion
Best for evaluations, research, diagnostics, and strategy design
PMU Embedding
Integrated execution support
Our team embeds within your institution as a Program Management Unit — providing sustained execution support, coordination infrastructure, and review systems from inside your organizational structure.
Example engagements
- National PMU for Mission Amrit Sarovar (68,000+ Sarovars)
- District PMU across 30 districts in Maharashtra
- State PMU for Punjab Development Commission
Best for large-scale government programs needing sustained execution capacity
Retainer / Ongoing Advisory
Continuous strategic partnership
Ongoing advisory relationships where we provide regular strategic counsel, program reviews, and institutional strengthening support over extended periods. We grow with your institution.
Example engagements
- Scaling Antarang from 80K to 500K youth over time
- Ongoing government adoption support across 4 states
- Long-term institutional capacity building for NGO partners
Best for organizations seeking a sustained strategic partner for growth and reform
Not sure which model fits? Most engagements begin with a scoping conversation where we understand your institutional context and recommend the right structure.
