Realising India

A shared album of what this work actually looks like on the ground, kept by the people doing it.

Summary in a nutshell

My mission

The work this sector does every day deserves to be seen — by the people doing it, and by the country it is being done for.

Wishlist from our ecosystem

These are the things people in this ecosystem wish they had.

Someone working on the ground

Has good days nobody outside the room ever hears about.

Someone working away from the ground

In an office, on budgets and reports, three states from anything visible.

Someone responsible for how the sector is seen

Competing for attention against whatever made the news this week.

4 wishes. Grant the ones you would.

Nobody built this because it does not obviously produce anything. It only produces the one thing this sector has never had — a way to see itself, and to be seen.

The loop it is stuck in

Five quantities, in the same order in both states. Watch the second arrow — it is the only thing that changes.

The unseen day

One negative link. The more this sector does, the more of it nobody sees.

The one change

Let the day be seen by somebody who was not standing there.

Look at the second link. The good moments are real and they are constant — and they are shared, if at all, with the five colleagues who were already present. So the more this sector does, the larger the volume of its own work that nobody outside the room will ever see.

Which is why public impressions of this sector are formed almost entirely by the handful of times it reaches the news for the wrong reasons. The loop balances at a point where the work is enormous and the impression of it is small.

Give the day somewhere to be seen and the link changes sign. A map of moments from across the states is not a marketing asset — it is the sector being able to look at itself, which is the thing that makes it possible for anyone else to.
