Associate, GivingPi
From day one, Dasra has felt larger than life. The organization’s energy is rooted in hope. I work primarily with philanthropists navigating the unbridled potential and complexity of India’s social sector, helping think through, innovate, and execute ideas that can shift systems. What drives me is the chance to build – better, deeper, together. It’s tracing the quiet “why” before the “what”, understanding the roots of uncertainty, building powerful trust, and sharing this impact with the world. Sitting atop Dasra’s deep well of knowledge, it’s a privilege to help move insight into action. I came in idealistic. Every day, it deepens into belief.

Team Lead, Data, Tech & AI
At Dasra, I’m primarily motivated by the prospect of enabling nonprofits to use foundational data/tech to further their cause. This could entail converting excel sheets to visuals to understand the bigger picture or map trends. It could entail incorporating the use of advanced reporting that strategically inform nonprofits on how to grow, for instance by using predictive analytics to identify a new geographic focus area. I aspire to contribute the sector by helping nonprofits embrace technological transformation and tools, supporting them in widening and scaling their impact.

Being at Dasra provides the unique opportunity to collaborate with committed stakeholders across nonprofits, philanthropy, government, and communities. I particularly value leading our cross-learning efforts across South Asia, where we foster knowledge exchange and institutional strengthening through peer networks. This work enables us to influence systems, scale contextrelevant innovations, and support inclusive solutions. Through the work I anchor, I aim to contribute to ensuring access to safe and sustainable sanitation for the most marginalized communities across the region.

Dasra’s ability and unique proposition, of offering a bird's eye view of the philanthropy space whilst developing programs grounded in community experience is what makes it an exciting space to work at. Across all its initiatives, and governance structures (Youth Committee, GEDI Council), what stands out is the freedom the organization provides, to exhibit agility, innovation, and be part of creating a wide basket of solutions that are new, dynamic and relevant to the sector we are working within. It is also dedicated to nurturing talent, building capabilities of individuals, not only at a team level, but also as budding sector professionals. Dasra's commitment to excellence is evident in their ability to adapt, stay resolute, ensuring they stay ahead of the curve, making It a wonderful place to be.

Associate Director, Research & Insights
Dasra began the #BackTheFrontline initiative during the pandemic, which focused on providing relief to the most vulnerable. The agility, humility, and integrity with which we operated left a mark on me. We were encouraged to do whatever it takes. We supported grassroots nonprofits with proposal writing, taking notes about the on-ground situation, spreading the word among philanthropy and eased processes. Over time, this response evolved into a long-term strategy for our work. We continue being dedicated to serving communities, geographies, and sectors with an intersectional perspective. This helps me stay anchored and feel inspired, every day.
