If you have questions about a particular project, simply post a question on the project page and the non-profit will answer it.

Memorable experience: Working with very talented people & new BI tool helped me in expanding my knowledge & gaining knowledge from partner organization's management.

Non-profit Experience

HQ Manager

Nishant's work helped reduce knowledge gaps on data visualisation tools, especially Power BI, leading to increased internal capacity for our team. He helped update our KPI template, which is solving reporting issues in the short term before implementation of Power BI reporting.

Nishant took on new challenges and went the extra mile to help out in areas that were new to him. He helped us to identify skills gaps in our team and with partners and plan which training programs would be most suitable to us/partners. He also ensured that our Digital Financial Services KPI tool was suitable for use in the short term. But most memorable of our experience working with Nishant is his kind and thoughtful demeanor.
