Direct cash transfers
for inclusive growth
1 Billion Indians have no discretionary spending
they only spend on essentials. This increases vulnerability
and crowds out investments for the future.
Giving cash works.
The budgetary allocation for these schemes grew by 23x in the last decade and is only likely to expand further.
This is an opportunity to accelerate poverty alleviation in the country
We are combining cutting edge research with actionable solutions to maximise the impact of cash based policies.
Our three pronged approach involves direct programming, thought leadership and policy engagement.
Knowledge Creation
We conduct research and promote an evidence backed approach to welfare and direct cash transfers.
Community Programs
We design and implement programs to create direct impact and learn by doing.
Policy Engagement
We aim to influence reform based on what we learn from our research and community work.
