Moving from a Data Scarcity to Data Surplus Mindset

Moving from a Data Scarcity to Data Surplus Mindset

Author: Non Profit Advisory March 5, 2021 Duration: 20:45

Data and technology play a pivotal role in driving decision-making at an organizational and individual level. Combined with analytics, data can unlock an organisation’s competitive advantage, capabilities and processes. However, comparatively few non-profits really tap into the potential of leveraging data and technology for both internal and external purposes. Tune in with Vrunda Bansode (Head, India Data Insights) to find out how non-profits can derive optimal value from easily available public and private data to not only improve their internal efficiency but to also scale the impact of their work.


Running a mission-driven organization often means navigating a unique set of pressures, from securing sustainable funding to demonstrating measurable impact. Transforming Non-Profits with Sattva steps into that space, offering a series of frank discussions that feel more like a strategic coffee chat than a formal lecture. Each episode connects you directly with the voices shaping the sector-seasoned non-profit executives, pragmatic funders, and policy influencers-who share not just theory, but the real-world application of their approaches. This podcast, brought to you by Non Profit Advisory, delves into the nuanced challenges and emerging opportunities that define today's social impact landscape. You’ll hear conversations that unpack specific strategies, dissect both successes and setbacks, and explore practical models for scaling influence and operational resilience. It’s designed for leaders seeking actionable insights and a deeper contextual understanding to inform their own work. Tune in for a candid exploration of what it truly takes to steer a non-profit toward greater effectiveness and lasting change.
