We are solving for households in poverty who are also financially and socially vulnerable through a targeted, multi-faceted, and sequenced model called the graduation approach, which has demonstrated that we can durably pull households out of poverty.

At The/Nudge Institute, we are in the process of catalyzing the propagation of the same. Our purpose is to contribute to making the most excluded individuals a contributing member to the economy:

The/Nudge is working with the Government of Meghalaya and The Meghalaya State Rural Livelihoods Society (MSRLS), to help increase adoption of the graduation approach/ economic inclusion program by targeting Most Vulnerable Rural Women/Single Mothers. The Meghalaya Economic Inclusion Program (M-EIP) is a targeted poverty alleviation initiative aimed at improving the socio-economic conditions of rural households experiencing extreme vulnerability in Meghalaya. The program primarily focuses on distressed single and young mothers, along with other poorest-of-the-poor households, with a strong emphasis on strengthening women’s economic and social inclusion. The initiative seeks to support approximately 20,000 vulnerable households across selected blocks and districts of the state.

Own your growth: An impact-led learning environment encourages Nudgesters to invest in their learning and capacity building needs through initiatives and policies, including L&D wallet, individual development plan and internal role change opportunities.

Find your tribe: Our hiring philosophy emphasises intent, attitude, smarts and skills, in that order, to build a cohesive environment for Nudgesters. The organisation is committed to curating people-centric policies, enhancing how employees experience life at The/Nudge.

Take big bets: Organisational initiatives are intended to facilitate Nudgesters with a view to the big picture, illustrated by our impact across 50000+ households, 15+ governments, 200+ social enterprises and Charcha: India’s largest social sector convening forum.

Make it happen: A product-based approach in an action-biased environment empowers Nudgesters to implement audacious plans. Driven to fail fast, we endeavour to optimise resources in favour of programs that align with our scale ambition.
