About Ek Kutumb
Ek Kutumb is a research organisation working to strengthen the legitimacy and adoption of climate action in India. We conduct deep, values-based research to understand how people think about responsibility, development, fairness, and change — moving beyond surface opinions to uncover enduring value systems that shape behaviour and public acceptance.
We translate this research into human intelligence for institutions — supporting governments and other systems-shaping actors in designing climate policies, programs, and investments that are socially grounded, politically viable, and realistically implementable.
About the Role
The Lead – Government Engagement & Advisory will anchor Ek Kutumb’s senior engagement with state governments and other institutions that shape policy, capital allocation, and large-scale program design.
This role combines institutional relationship-building with substantive advisory leadership.



You will work at the intersection of policy substance and citizen intelligence — integrating Ek Kutumb’s research into high-level decision-making processes, stress-testing institutional assumptions, and strengthening the social and political grounding of climate action across states. As a member of the senior management team, you will help shape Ek Kutumb’s advisory philosophy and long-term institutional trajectory.
