Social development in India today is creating unprecedented levels of interest and commitment, and more importantly, opportunities for its people - a chance to participate, contribute and grow the country.

Non-profits are increasing their focus on efficiency and scalability. Social entrepreneurs and grassroot-level enterprises are beginning to thrive in the business of "doing good while doing well". Social responsibility is slowly becoming a de-facto part of good business models at corporations.

The emergence of a strong "social conscience" is visible within the citizen community that wants to go beyond mere participation and actually aid in shaping the social order.

Sattva aims to be a knowledge centre that can enable, support and accelerate this journey while engaging with all these different stakeholders.

Sattva means a "state of harmony or balance". We aim to realize the "equilibrium" in social changes through:


Media - building independent, progressive spaces for communication and dialogue.


Research - providing relevant actionable insights and analysis.


Consulting - strategy, planning and execution support.
