about us

Our Story

Development Solutions (DS) was founded by S Ramanathan and Vasudha Chakravarthy in 2014. DS exists for two reasons:

  • To enable informed and grounded decision-making for development, through improved availability, interpretation, and utilization of evidence
  • To enable impact-driven institutions to leverage the power of research and knowledge, strengthen data systems, build team capacity, and imbibe learnings irrespective of size, context, and networks

Today, DS works across India to support development partners with evidence, research, and knowledge to deepen social impact.
