Arghyam: A praxis on regenerating a groundwater civilisation

Arghyam began as a funding organisation and has grown into a key voice in India’s water ecosystem. By 2022, it was collaborating with various organisations to advance water security solutions. This case study examines Arghyam’s strategic shifts, particularly its 2018 pivot towards leveraging digital technology for scalable impact. The transition required internal realignment, new engagement models, and enhanced capabilities while maintaining a lean structure. Arghyam’s journey highlights how addressing complex challenges does not always require vast resources but rather strategic agility, intentional decision-making, and a sustained commitment to a singular philanthropic cause.
