In today’s fast-changing landscape of development, infrastructure, and corporate responsibility, understanding how a project touches people’s lives are just as important as delivering the project itself. That’s why Social Impact Assessment (SIA) has moved from a regulatory checkbox to a critical part of planning, implementation, and long-term success.
At the heart of this shift is Leadtech Management Consulting Pvt. Ltd., one of India’s most trusted names in social impact assessment. With more than 200 projects completed across 15+ states since its founding in 2008, Leadtech has built a reputation for turning field realities into meaningful insights that policymakers, project owners, and communities can act upon.
What makes Leadtech stand out isn’t just its experience, but the way it blends on-the-ground understanding with cutting-edge tools. Whether it’s using CAPI (computer-assisted personal interviews) for better accuracy, GIS mapping to track spatial change, or custom dashboards to visualize trends in real-time, Leadtech brings a rare balance of rigor and relevance to its assessments.
Take our work in Rajasthan, for example. When the Public Works Department needed to understand how a new highway, SH-20B might impact surrounding communities, Leadtech stepped in to assess everything from displacement risks to livelihood disruptions. The insights they provided didn’t just inform compensation plans and they shaped more responsible decision-making. In Chhattisgarh, Leadtech worked with CGSRLM to study the ripple effects of financial literacy initiatives on reducing NPAs. The findings helped refine grassroots strategies and gave planners a clearer picture of what was really working.
And at the national level, Leadtech’s ongoing study for the National Commission for Minorities focusing on the Sikh community’s access to rights and opportunities is a testament to their ability to handle sensitive, complex themes with care. Through focus group discussions, narrative interviews, and participatory methods, they’re capturing the stories behind the statistics.
Much of this success comes from the people behind the work. Leadtech’s team includes alumni from IITs, NITs, NABARD, and the World Bank, experts who bring both academic depth and real-world perspective. Their domain knowledge spans areas like rural development, ESG frameworks, youth employment, and MSME support, enabling them to look beyond the surface and trace long-term impact chains.
But beyond methods and metrics, Leadtech stands for something deeper: credibility, ethics, and trust. These aren’t just buzzwords they’re the foundation of every partnership the company builds. From baseline studies and stakeholder consultations to final impact modelling and strategy design, clients know they can count on Leadtech for honest, grounded, and actionable evaluations.
With field teams fluent in local languages, a tech stack built for scale, and PAN-India reach, Leadtech continues to support governments, NGOs, and corporations in answering the big questions: Are we making a difference? Where can we do better? What does impact look like for the people we serve?
If you’re looking for a social impact assessment partner that blends insight with integrity, fieldwork with analytics, and policy with empathy, Leadtech is ready to help you measure what really matters.
