India's largest NGO preventing and intervening in child sexual abuse
Arpan operates India's largest non-profit focused on child sexual abuse prevention and intervention, serving children, adults, teachers, and state actors across multiple districts. The hiring acceleration (5 new roles in 30 days, senior-heavy mix) combined with projects spanning donor pipeline, grant development, and digital course launches reveals an organization scaling both fundraising capacity and programmatic reach. Tech stack is lightweight (Adobe Creative Suite, Monday.com, Office) — typical for mission-driven nonprofits — with the real operational bottleneck in content velocity and cross-district coordination rather than infrastructure.
Arpan delivers child sexual abuse prevention and intervention services across India since 2006, operating from Mumbai with a team of over 140 professionals. The core offering is Personal Safety Education delivered in schools to ages 4–18, complemented by teacher and parent training programs designed to equip adults to recognize and respond to abuse. Arpan also conducts research, policy advocacy, and produces educational materials. The organization works directly with state and national government bodies, schools, and community partners. Current operational priorities include scaling digital course delivery, managing a complex donor acquisition pipeline, coordinating service delivery across state-level blocks, and vetting content for accuracy and sensitivity.
