This organization is a breeding ground for toxic favoritism, with a culture that thrives on connections rather than competence. If you happen to be in someone's good books, you essentially don’t have to work. The institution runs on blatant nepotism, with favoritism institutionalized across all levels. Every team is riddled with personal alliances, particularly husband-wife duos, who manipulate the system to their advantage.
In Uttar Pradesh, for instance, the HR head is the wife of someone who is notorious for having the most complaints filed against him. This individual shamelessly threatens employees, saying, *"Your job is in my hands,"* creating a culture of fear and submission. Key positions are held by husband-wife teams, with power concentrated in their hands, leaving little room for accountability. The Managing Director plays favorites, promoting select individuals while assigning them oversight over others. This creates a hostile environment where promotions and scrutiny are weaponized to maintain control.
The promise of a “non-hierarchical” structure is nothing but a facade. The hierarchy is glaringly obvious, even in trivial matters like vehicle allocations. Senior staff get luxury Innovas, juniors settle for hatchbacks, and associates are often left to travel by bus. Associates, despite their critical role on the ground, are excluded from any meaningful decision-making processes. Leadership remains disconnected, conducting only superficial field visits. The Managing Director, Anish, has no real understanding of the ground realities, as he never engages with associate practitioners, the backbone of the organization.
The culture and climate within the organization are dire. The toxic favoritism not only demoralizes employees but also creates an atmosphere of fear and uncertainty. Employees are perpetually scared—scared of losing their jobs, scared of retaliation, and scared for their future. Complaints are swept under the rug, and no effort is made to address the deep-rooted issues plaguing the workplace.
To make matters worse, there’s no genuine attempt to build a supportive or inclusive environment. Any semblance of celebration or team-building is non-existent. Employees are forced to spend out of pocket for personal milestones like birthdays, as the organization refuses to invest in its people. Leadership is entirely absent when it comes to employee welfare, focusing only on securing funding and impressing external stakeholders.
This institution is a prime example of everything wrong with organizational culture—favoritism, nepotism, exploitation, and a complete disregard for employee well-being. The facade they present to funders and the outside world is nothing but a well-crafted lie, hiding a decaying, toxic core. It’s not just an organization; it’s a systematic failure, built on fear, favoritism, and falsehoods....Read More

The organization operates on a foundation of false promises, particularly in its claims of fostering a non-hierarchical culture. This so-called "non-hierarchy" is a sham; the hierarchy is blatantly evident, even on their official platforms. Worse, by denying the existence of a hierarchy, they’ve unofficially handed power to their favorites, enabling them to make decisions that are not only unethical but also inhumane and discriminatory, particularly against gender-inclusive practices.
Transparency, which they tout as a core value, is non-existent. Communication within the organization is abysmal; no one communicates openly, and critical issues are swept under the rug. The Human Resources department is shockingly mediocre, staffed with individuals who lack merit but excel at favoritism. Meritocracy is dead, as hiring decisions are based on personal preferences rather than competence or qualifications.
The management’s expertise lies not in fostering growth or a healthy work culture but in faking it to corporate social responsibility (CSR) donors and funding agencies. They masterfully create an illusion of productivity and innovation while doing absolutely nothing of value within the organization itself. Their entire approach hinges on securing funds, as they believe funding alone equals organizational growth.
Employee welfare is utterly neglected. Forget about fun activities or celebrations—even on your birthday, you’re expected to spend your own money. Festive occasions are ignored entirely, as the organization refuses to allocate any budget for team-building or morale-boosting activities. Incentives or benefits beyond work? Non-existent.
The salary structure is another area rife with discrimination. There’s a deliberate policy of suppressing wages for talented employees while inflating paychecks for their favorites. This blatant exploitation and mismanagement reveal an organization not just flawed but fundamentally corrupt. It’s a place where mediocrity is rewarded, innovation is stifled, and the facade of integrity is all that keeps it afloat....Read More

TRI is an organization having a fascinating and challenging vision to design solutions to transform quality life experiences in bottom villages where people are living with facilities decades behind. As per several data there are around one lakh such villages. There three a) Approach Community Action Lab (where TRI design, try and test solutions by direct engagement with Community and their local institutions like CLF-VO-SHG, Local Governance system like Panchayats & Local Administrations ie Different Departments ) b) Public Policy in Action : supporting Central & State Government departments to develop & implements solutions so that support services can bring positive transformative changes in Life and livelihoods of Common Populations c) Bending Market for Flourishing localities: to foster sustainable and equitable market system that empower rural communities.
That's a mammoth Task to do and requires a massive energy & passions of development professionals as its not like simple project delivery, like getting sum fund and executing xyz activities. Till our independence, (and before that also) as nation we are suffering various development defects and trying turning that reality is tough but adventurous journey for any professionals. A mountaineers can dare to try to climb the Everest and rocks are for others... I feel that, if any one wants thrill of adventures as development sector than TRI is the best place for them, any professional can grow themselves as finest development Professional, if they wants.
The organization provide independence to any professionals to try and test their own ideas, and approach, with a feeling of equality and comradely spirits. Only condition is community first spirit is prevailed here. Any one within the organization are equally empowered in decision making as of Joint Managing Directors, Directors , Associate Directors ... only thing are the basic principals and logic like community is in the center, Transparency in basic social & financial integrity.
The organization believes in absolute financial & social integrity. It may be frustrating for those who are in the sector merely for wage earning but can be exciting journey for any development professionals who want to transform life & livelihood of people who are lacking opportunities, and suffering poor quality of life. The also have good packages for quality of professionals....Read More

The management at state level is not in line with the vision of MDs. No transparency, senior officer will drive the team as per their wish. They run the state team as per their wish no support, and high expectation. No scope of feedback and ideas from block team. More over amjed will not recruit good candidates rather he prefers recruiting his family members with 0 experience and no work will be assigned to him......Read More
