Changescape Consulting

What Changescape Consulting does

Changescape Consulting is a privately-held, founder-owned development-sector consulting firm established in 2020 by Deepali Nath and headquartered operationally in India, with listed contact points in New York, London, Moscow, and Wilmington, Delaware. The firm delivers end-to-end consulting services to NGOs, international development agencies, government bodies, corporations executing CSR programs, and academic institutions, organized across three service verticals: Strategy Development and Programme Design, Project Management, and Evidence, Learning and Impact. Its offerings span strategy design, project design, resource mobilisation, theory of change, results frameworks, donor reporting, capacity building, MIS design, qualitative and quantitative research, baselines and evaluations, impact assessments, market and consumer insights, secondary analysis, and flagship reports, covering 11 thematic sectors including health, education, WASH, gender, nutrition, child rights, and disaster risk reduction.

The underlying delivery model is a professional-services network: Changescape assembles bespoke teams of senior associates per engagement rather than relying on a large in-house bench, drawing on practitioners with prior tenures at Nielsen, Save the Children, Clinton Health Access Initiative, UNDP, UNHCR, GIZ, NITI Aayog, Deloitte, and PwC. No proprietary technology platform is disclosed; the firm relies on traditional social research and M&E methods supported by an MIS design practice. The firm also operates a content arm, the Digi Exp podcast, focused on development-sector topics. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and engagements are project-based and custom, typical for the development consulting niche.

Revenue is not disclosed, no funding rounds have been raised, and the firm operates with a core team of 9 employees. Named clients include WHO-SEARO, FHI 360, Save the Children, Sightsavers, WaterAid, PSI, WISH, PCI India, Vital Strategies, Grant Thornton, AEEE, GSMA, and a Donor NVF, indicating a diversified but relatively concentrated marquee client base. In 2025, founder Deepali Nath was featured in Success Times' Women of Vision edition, which the firm used as a positioning moment around its fifth anniversary.
