About
A practice built at the intersection of conservation, community, and code.
Sahyadri Mitra ("friend of the Sahyadri") supports NGOs, foundations and government programs working across the Western Ghats — from Gujarat's Dangs through Maharashtra's Sahyadris to Karnataka, Goa, Kerala and Tamil Nadu.
What we do
We design monitoring & evaluation frameworks, build longitudinal survey systems, and ship data platforms and dashboards that programs actually use. Some engagements are advisory; others are full build-and-run.
Across water, environment, livelihood, biodiversity, mental health, and gender & inclusion, our common thread is a longitudinal, stakeholder-linked view of change — not just counts and averages.
Who we work with
- Community-based NGOs running long-arc landscape programs
- Foundations and CSR teams funding multi-site portfolios
- Government programs looking for outcome-level reporting
- Research groups needing durable data pipelines for field studies
How we work
Landscape first
We think in whole landscapes — water, land, livelihood and people are one system. Our tools reflect that.
Field teams own it
A system that field staff can't use every Monday is worthless. Simplicity in the field beats sophistication in a slide.
Evidence over vibes
Program decisions should stand on data that traces back to a named household — not selective anecdotes.
Community data, handled with care
Consent, minimisation, retention and access are design choices, not compliance afterthoughts.
