Good Business Lab Projects
What am I currently working on at a research-focused organization?
At Good Business Lab (GBL), I have so far worked on and continue to work on several projects including Qualitative Exploration or Scoping studies and Qualitative Evaluation. I also work on Comprehensive Reviews, Conduct Organized White-boarding Workshops, and Curate and Design training modules for projects.
Who did I cover and where?

projects I've worked on
Qualitative Exploration:
Here, my team and I work closely on understanding the context for a research project by going on field and extracting grass-roots information about people's experiences. I have worked on:
Scoping of social norms in female labor participation (FLP) in rural villages; Understanding barriers in FLP in the automotive industry in India; Understanding the experience of free nutrition programs in garment factories, etc.
Qualitative Evaluation:
I design qualitative evaluation protocols and co-write grants applications to understand how a particular program or intervention has impacted the target group and those around them in terms of their experiences. I have worked on:
Evaluation of a soft-skills training program for supervisors on the shop-floor in garment factories; Evaluation of training in life, financial, and digital skills for adolescent girls in rural India, etc.
Comprehensive Reviews:
I leverage secondary data to comprehensively map out and review information for some projects. This includes:
Exploring soft-skills training for nurses in the public sector in India; Reviewing the measurement of happiness research; Exploring the return on investment for investing in women's SRH in the coffee supply chain, etc.
Designing Workshops & Training Modules:
I also curate and design workshops and training modules for certain projects and interventions. Some of which include:
Creation of training modules to increase women's use of financial tools for flexible withdrawal of their salaries in garment factories; Designing interventions and training modules for women to increase adherence to iron tablets in garment factories; Organzing brainstorming and ideation sessions to arrive at solutions to problems or interventions for projects, etc.
I also work on routine administrative tasks, including presentations + pitches to internal and external stakeholders and conducting qualitative research trainings and module training.
What did I do?
What did I find?
The projects I work on are diverse and the findings have always humbled me and made me ponder on how qualitative research is powerful and important. People's stories are profound -- the people we want to create for should always have their voice heard on what they want and need.
