Beyond the Core Team

While our core team leads strategy, program design, and day-to-day operations at Thrive India, our impact is made possible through a wider ecosystem of collaborators. We work closely with a diverse network of implementation partners, subject-matter experts, field facilitators, consultants, and volunteers across the country who bring scale, depth, and local insight to our initiatives.

Our structure allows us to remain agile and responsive, while our trusted partnerships ensure we maintain reach, quality, and relevance in every community we serve.
