Facilitator - Abhilash Mudaliar - SIH Professional Impact Network Member

Abhilash Mudaliar has two decades of experience in impact investing, measurement, evaluation and international development. Abhilash seeks to leverage his skills to help high potential and high quality 'for purpose' organisations (be they nonprofits, social enterprises or commercial ventures) access the resources they need to enhance their impact.

This could be accomplished by working directly with these organisations on projects related to strategy or fundraising or impact assessment. It could also be accomplished by working with grantmakers and investors to support them in channelling their capital and inputs in increasingly effective ways.

One of Abhilash's hobbies is writing short stories... He knows that the most successful organisations don't just do great work but are also skilled at telling their stories in compelling ways.
