Embassy Group has been associated with Vardaan for over a year now and they have assisted us to develop a strategic roadmap for our Community Outreach initiatives whiles ensuring both mandatory and operational alignment in regards to our Vision and Mission. Their team has been tremendously valuable in providing expert opinions on various topics including compliance under the Companies Act, effective implementation of CSR Programs, and the reporting and tracking mechanisms that allow for operational efficiencies. We have found that having an external consultant on board has helped our internal process mature and grow in an impactful manner.

A chance email in a group introduced us to Vardaan two years ago, and it has been a fruitful association for us ever since. A typical small size NGO, Tamahar needed all the guidance Vardaan team could give to strengthen us to meet our dreams. Not only did we learn ‘how to’, we learned ‘we had not even thought of’ and ‘how important it is for NGOs to start thinking like disciplined corporate strategists’. Vardaan thinks of the NGOs, understands our issues, and works smartly. We hope Vardaan helps many more NGOs reach their potential and beyond, just like Tamahar is on it’s way.

Anil Birla and the Vardaan team have been a game-changer for our organization and our efforts. We are tremendously grateful to have come across this dedicated, thorough and strategic group, and our investment in them has benefited us ten-fold. I appreciate Anil’s valuable insight in how we can better present ourselves to investors, as well as what opportunities we should be maximizing. On top of that, he helped us leverage long-lasting and strategic partnerships, which helped us take our organization to new heights. We are lucky to have come across Anil, and working with Vardaan was one of the best decisions we have ever made as an organisation.

At Spandana Society, we’ve always focused on doing meaningful work – but translating that into strong corporate partnerships was a learning curve. What stood out about Vardaan was their ability to see both sides – the needs of the NGO and the expectations of the corporate. They helped us align with both, and gave us the tools to be more credible, organized, and responsive. Their support made a tangible difference in how we operate.
