Six things we got right (so far).
-
Pay that respects your work
Salaries benchmarked against the social-sector median, reviewed annually, and published in bands across the team.
-
Real time off
30 days of leave a year, plus a quiet two-week organisation-wide pause every December. We mean it when we say rest.
-
Health for you and yours
Comprehensive medical insurance covering you, a partner, two children, and parents. Mental health support included.
-
Learning budget
Every team member has an annual ₹40,000 budget for courses, books, and conferences — no approvals needed for the first ₹15,000.
-
Field-first culture
Even the founder spends two weeks every quarter at a project site. We don't make decisions in rooms our work doesn't reach.
-
An honest workplace
Anti-harassment policy with an external committee, transparent grievance redressal, and a manager you can actually disagree with.
Three steps. No trick questions.
