About Shambhavi Suri

I work as a public policy consultant advising philanthropic and social sector organisations on programme strategy, policy positioning, and ecosystem-level risk across India. My work sits at the intersection of research, institutions, and decision-making, supporting clients operating in complex public systems.Over the past two-plus years, I have worked across themes including gender, livelihoods, social protection, maternal and child health outcomes, child protection, anti-trafficking, and climate-linked issues. My role involves policy and programme analysis, stakeholder and ecosystem mapping, and translating research into clear, decision-ready recommendations for clients.A core part of my work includes supporting structured engagement with government institutions—preparing clients through briefing notes, risk and perception assessments, and strategic inputs that align advocacy and programme goals with policy realities.I hold an MSc in Modern South Asian Studies from the University of Oxford, where my training emphasised institutional analysis, political economy, and rigorous research. I am interested in roles that combine analytical depth with real-world problem-solving in the public and social sectors.Skills- Public Policy Analysis- Programme & Strategy Advisory- Philanthropy & Social Sector Consulting- Political & Ecosystem Risk Assessment- Stakeholder Mapping & Engagement- Policy Briefing & Decision Memos- Research & Synthesis
