Radhika Agrawal
I work on corporate social responsibility and social impact: designing and running grant portfolios, holding them to their compliance obligations, and measuring whether they actually changed anything.
Eight years across CSR strategy, philanthropy, and multi-stakeholder programmes in India, built on a foundation in financial due diligence.

Grantee Balanced Scorecard
Assessing a nonprofit partner and their proposal before a CSR grant is approved. Keeps eligibility — a legal yes or no under the CSR Rules — separate from assessment, and treats the organisation and the project as two different questions.

One person in one village, with a notebook
One notebook — borewell levels, which birds came back, what survived — feeding local governance, research and restoration at once.

“We are done with our CSR for the year.”
Heard in more than one boardroom. You cannot be done with impact — only with a filing.

Every function in a business has a vendor knocking on its door
The development sector has none, so organisations keep rebuilding tools that already exist.

The first person who taught me about systems wasn’t a consultant
A woman in Jhabua explaining a forest. Communities rarely lack insight — what they lack is influence.
