Communications
Self-Sufficiency
for Non-Profits

“In 2018, Priya started supporting Gram Vikas, helping us navigate the complexities of strategic communication. She demonstrated how we could leverage our extensive on-ground experiences and stories to enhance our communications for future growth. Quickly becoming the anchor of this initiative, Priya took hands-on leadership, building the team from scratch and providing continuous guidance. She skillfully managed team dynamics, and instilled a sense of purpose and direction for storytelling across the organisation. Additionally, she represented Gram Vikas at various events, speaking on our behalf. Over the past seven years, Priya has been a vital part of our senior management leadership, even without being full-time.”

"Priya and Robin have been wonderful co-travellers for us at the Work Fair and Free Foundation. They brought in thoughtful strategic expertise and are helping us build a distinct digital presence that reflects who we are. One of the most helpful aspects of their approach is how they are constantly asking, "What can we do with what you have?”. They have been refreshingly adaptable, meeting us where we are and helping us move forward at a pace that feels right. That kind of understanding and patience is rare. Their commitment to helping mission-driven teams strengthen this function, without overreach or assumptions, truly sets them apart from other providers in the space."

"I find Priya’s approach and process towards working with an organisation like ours to be highly functional. While she spent significant time in understanding our work, values, and systems, she also did a quick sense-check and set up standard practices for our team. As a thought leader and steward of the organisation who often thinks in isolation, she acted as a sounding board – much like a co-founder – while shaping the organisation’s language and then worked tirelessly to intricately refine it. In parallel, she intensely mentored our communications team, pushing them to work with efficiency and accountability. What sets her apart is her unwavering authenticity, which makes working with her not a transactional experience, but a deep and meaningful collaboration."

"I have worked with Priya on research communication for over a decade, and what stands out is how she makes complex research understandable and useful for the people it’s meant to reach. She brings sharp writing, a deep understanding of research, and a real instinct for involving the right people early. That approach makes sure the work connects and creates value. Her leadership on evidence uptake for the STRIVE consortium helped bridge gaps between researchers, policymakers, and communities in meaningful ways. At Partners for Health & Development in Africa, her work made research more accessible, especially in policy and public health contexts. She also works really well with designers to create clear, visually strong materials. I strongly recommend Wordmatter to anyone who wants their research to make an impact."

“We worked with Wordmatter to document one of our complex, cross-functional interventions — a gender-responsive counselling model within the public health system. From the start, they showed a sharp grasp of the subject and were able to turn conversations and insights into clear, compelling writing. They brought structure to the process, worked with feedback from different team members, and even pointed out where more data could make the story stronger. They also pushed our thinking, helping us step back, reframe where needed, and make the final product sharper and more effective. The output was well-written, on time, and deeply aligned with our intent. We couldn’t have asked for better.”

“Priya and Robin of Wordmatter collaborated with us to help introspect and strengthen our communications strategy, bringing in their deep subject knowledge and commitment to facilitating growth of their partners. Our new website reflects how we see ourselves and we love how it looks! Wordmatter has helped us through the entire process of crafting and streamlining content, web design and development. It has been a pleasure to work with them and we look forward to our continued partnership.”

"Robin brought clarity, calm, and creative leadership to our digital transformation journey at Ambuja Foundation. From crafting our digital strategy to managing content, training teams, and overseeing video assets, he approached every task with ownership and a strong enabling spirit. Robin’s ability to simplify complexity, build camaraderie, and consistently deliver high-quality work made him an invaluable partner. His presence elevated both our processes and our confidence."
