Consultancy Projects


Working with the World Bank and the Government of Sikkim as an Independent Verification Agency for the groundbreaking INSPIRES project. This initiative is set to catalyze Sikkim's progress and enhance the well-being of its people.
Sikkim INSPIRES (Integrated Service Provisions and Innovations for Reviving Economies) is a pioneering endeavor that adopts a holistic 'whole of Government' approach to design interventions geared towards better economic inclusion, particularly for women and youth in the non-farm sectors of the State.
Chief Minister PS Golay envisions that this project will not only transform the State's tangible economy but also uplift its intangible aspects, contributing to the economic well-being of its citizens.
This endeavor involves the collaborative efforts of nine state departments, focusing on interventions in three key result areas: Enable, Empower, and Employ. Over the 5-year project, the World Bank will invest an estimated 100 Million USD in INSPIRES.

India’s premier B-School, the Indian Institute of Management Kozhikode, and the country’s leading statutory body for empowering women, the National Commission for Women (NCW), have come together for a unique academic offering for women entrepreneurs. An opportunity for them to undergo professional training to launch their entrepreneurial career as well as a chance for existing women entrepreneurs to augment and scale up their businesses with professional mentoring.This collaborative online training programme to nurture and build entrepreneurial capability among women entrepreneurs will be designed and executed by the Centre of Excellence for Social Innovation (CESI) of the Indian Institute of Management Kozhikode in association with NCW and MyGov.in.

A considerable proportion of primary schools still lack basic necessities like classroom furniture, drinking water, and bathrooms, as well as more advanced resources like fans, playgrounds, musical instruments, computers, etc. Students from disadvantaged backgrounds struggle because of a lack of basic infrastructures like tables in classrooms and home. They lean on the floor to read and write. Sitting with a slumped back for long periods is harmful to a child's health as it causes undue stress to the back and eyes. The posture affects their handwriting and the ability to focus, leading to less-than-optimal academic performance. Deskit has created a school backpack with an inbuilt table, which is ergonomic, foldable, light, portable, and removable. The objective of the study is to comprehensively assess the impact of Deskit on the beneficiaries (students) and other stakeholders (teachers, parents, CSR/NGO/Government partners, etc) as well as their ecosystem (schools & homes) using a range of impact indicators (Learning, Health, Social Inclusion, etc.).

Villgro has been incubating innovation-based social enterprises in sectors, including health. As part of the incubation process, Villgro extends various types of support to start-ups. To increase the efficiency and effectiveness of this process, it may be helpful to know if and how various types of support are tied to the creation of impact. This consultancy project will assess the impact and identify the pathway to impact as relevant for multiple stakeholders connected to the startup.
