About Sattva & India Partner Network (IPN)
Sattva Consulting is a global impact consulting firm from India. Since 2009, we have worked with civil society, businesses, and governments to enable social impact at scale.
India Partner Network (IPN) is a technology-based platform incubated at Sattva, focused on making institutional capacity building accessible to small and mid-sized NGOs. Since its launch in August 2023, IPN has grown into a strong ecosystem with 3,500+ NGOs, 5,000+ users, a growing network of 100+ partners and service providers, and thousands of monthly engagements across resources, events, campaigns, and assessments. IPN supports NGOs through:
Capacity-building knowledge and resources
Discovery of service providers and collaborators
Tools and opportunities to strengthen organizational effectiveness
IPN operates with a startup mindset within Sattva, combining mission-driven impact with product thinking, experimentation, and rapid execution. The platform is on a growth trajectory and is expected to spin off as an independent entity, making this a unique opportunity to join early and contribute to shaping both the product and the organization.
