Founded in 2002 in Bengaluru, Mahiti has spent over two decades building technology and data systems for nonprofits, foundations, governments, and networks across India and beyond. We work at the intersection of technology and social impact, building practical tools that help organisations make better decisions and demonstrate deeper change.
Three moves, always.
Twenty-four years in, we've found that the technology rarely fails: what fails is the fit between technology and the people, places and processes that use it. So we work in three deliberate moves.
Listen, in the field.
We start by spending time where the work happens (clinics, classrooms, FPO offices) to understand the workflow before we design the system.
Build, openly.
Open-source by default. We build for the device the worker actually has, the connection she actually gets, and the language she actually speaks.
Hand over, then stay close.
Our work isn't done at handover. We train, document and remain available, because the systems that last are the ones the partner can run themselves.
