Sudakshina brings several years of programmatic experience with organisations such as NASSCOM Foundation, Global Communities and Concern India Foundation. She holds a Master’s degree in Social Work and presently heads Research, Development and Evaluation and Project Raise at ECF. Her aim to reduce gender based violence and bring about gender equality in the society aligns with the mission of ECF and she takes her learning from the programme to apply in her personal life. Using multiple monitoring tools to assess ECF’s gender transformative programme, Sudakshina is fascinated by how the programme is evolving and becoming increasingly relevant through continuous innovation and experimentation.

Sudakshina is a voracious reader and loves to write and paint. After hours she can be found on stage enacting self-written and self-directed plays. She has recently been promoted to being a mother and looks forward to manage her professional and personal responsibilities with equal expertise.
