"We partnered with Atma from 2011 - 2013, at that time I had just started out and the organisation was very new. I started with the passion but without the knowledge of how to run the organisation. We had a very small team and we didn't know how to do things in a scientific manner, be it coming up with an aligned vision and mission, M&E system, simplifying the way we articulate our program (Connecting Education to Employment).  Personally, the partnership helped me to get my thoughts together on the vission and the mission of the program. What is special about Atma is that they always put the partner first and value whatever the partner's thoughts are, whether they may be right or wrong. They also make sure they support you from end-to-end, any goal that we plan for, they make sure they close it too. The CEO, Mary Ellen has also kept in touch and keeps referring us in her networks, years after the partnership. I would recommend Atma to organisations in their earliest possible stages as they are very useful!"

— Kishor Palve, Founder & CEO
