Public health, IVRS, mobile

A voice line that reached the last mile

A national maternal-health programme needed to reach low-literacy callers in three states, with no app, no smartphone and no English required. Frontline workers recorded the audio. Urgent cases route to the nearest primary health centre.

Climate justice, web, campaign

A 90 KB site that travelled three countries

A youth climate coalition needed a campaign site that loads on village 2G connections, and a way to show funders the petition was reaching new networks. Eight volunteers now publish translations themselves.

Community consultation, co-design

Listening before building

A livelihoods programme had hit a plateau. We spent five months with an embedded team, talking to the women's collectives it was meant to serve, then ran co-design workshops where members shaped the revised programme.

They handed us a programme our members helped write. Executive Director, livelihoods nonprofit

Common questions

We're a small grassroots collective. Can we afford this?

Probably yes. Our Spark engagement starts at ₹50,000 and registered non-profits get a standing 20% discount. We hold pro-bono capacity each quarter and offer a sliding scale for grant-funded work. Ask us, we don't make you guess.

Who owns the website, the data, and the design?

You do, in every engagement. Code ships to your repository, content to your CMS, data to your accounts. We build on open standards (no proprietary page-builders, no sealed CMS) so you can take any other team forward with the project on day one.

How do you handle community data and consent?

Every research engagement starts with a written consent and ethics note, reviewed with you. We minimise PII, store data on infrastructure you control where possible, and we will not run research that we wouldn't be comfortable explaining to participants in their own language.

How long does a typical engagement take?

A campaign microsite: 3–6 weeks. A full site or web app: 8–14 weeks. An IVRS line: 10–16 weeks including language recording. Research studies vary with sample size, and we always scope a smaller pilot first.

Can you work with our existing tools and team?

Yes. We've integrated with Salesforce NPSP, Razorpay, Mailchimp, Twilio, Exotel, Glific, Kobo, RapidPro and most major CRMs. If your team has an in-house developer or designer, we'd rather pair with them than replace them.

Do you do pro-bono work?

We reserve one pro-bono slot per quarter for grassroots collectives and crisis-response work. It's competitive and the process is informal. Drop us a note describing the moment and we'll write back.

What does success look like to you?

We report behaviour change. We'd rather report a 12% follow-through on a callback than a million impressions that didn't move anyone. Every engagement starts with us agreeing on what "useful" means for your members or beneficiaries.
