Our Team

A Collective of Practitioners and Learners

Infosutra is shaped by people who bring care, curiosity, and long experience to their work. Our team includes practitioners, researchers, and advisors who have spent years working across development domains, technology, research, and public systems—learning from communities and translating that learning into thoughtful action.

Who We Are

People grounded in practice, guided by learning.

Together, we bring experience from education, public health, livelihood, environment, research, and community development. What connects us is a belief in collaboration, reflection, and working closely with those at the heart of the work.
