We believe that the people and organisations working to change the world deserve the same quality of professional infrastructure that the corporate sector takes for granted. That belief is at the heart of everything we do at Development Wala.
Our Story
India’s Development Sector Deserves a Dedicated Partner
Development Wala was founded with a single conviction: that India’s vast and vital non-profit and development sector was under-served. NGOs struggled with compliance. Talented graduates had no clear pathway into social work. Organisations spent precious mission-driven time on operational bottlenecks instead of community impact.
We built Development Wala to change that. Today, we operate as a full-spectrum partner — bridging the gap between passion and professionalism, between aspiration and opportunity, and between social organisations and the talent they urgently need.
With a team of seasoned development professionals, policy experts, educators, and sector insiders, we deliver services that are practical, personalised, and purpose-driven.
