Chai Kreative · Advisory for India's public systems

Every problem arrives as a knot. We find the thread.

हर मसला एक गाँठ बनकर आता है। सिरा हम ढूँढते हैं।

India already owns what it needs: its data, its places, its faith, its elders, its truth. We find what is really wrong, recommend the right hands to fix it, and stay beside the work. It costs substantially less.

What we work on · सात मैदान

Seven fields. One way of working.

Different subjects, the same discipline: find out what is really wrong, on the ground and in the data, before anyone spends money fixing it.

01 / 07Core practice

Public systems · सरकारी तंत्र

Schemes, services and messages that reach the people they were meant for.

  • Research, survey and assessment of schemes, facilities and campaigns
  • Ground reporting: what the file says, set beside what the field says
  • IEC planned for the person the scheme is for, in the language they use

The founder was exclusive implementation partner to the Ministry of Labour and Employment, and made tax law watchable on Doordarshan.

02 / 07Pilot underway

Health · सेहत

Intelligence for primary eye care in government facilities, in Indian languages.

  • Screening and referral that does not lose the patient on the way
  • Facility readiness and follow-up, seen in one place
  • IEC so people come, and come back

The eye-care layer is in pilot. Details are shared with the parties concerned, in writing.

03 / 07Pilot underway

Cities · शहर

What a city puts on its walls, governed and counted.

  • Outdoor media mapped, permitted and audited
  • The revenue a city is owed, made visible
  • Streets that read cleaner, and rules that hold

The city-walls layer is in pilot. Details are shared with the parties concerned, in writing.

04 / 07Energy: final stage · Coal: in progress

Energy & coal · ऊर्जा और कोयला

Energy portfolios run on evidence; coal traced from the washery onward.

  • Portfolio intelligence for public energy assets
  • Traceability for coal and what is left after washing it
  • Reporting a board can act on

The energy layer is at final stage; the coal layer is in progress.

05 / 07In progress

Education · तालीम

Intelligence for schools, and guidance for students on careers and competitive exams.

  • School planning and operations, seen clearly
  • Career and exam guidance in the student’s own language
  • IEC for parents and teachers

Work is in progress.

06 / 07Concept ready

Truth · सच की हिफ़ाज़त

India’s quieter threat is the fake. We help institutions spot it early and answer it fast.

  • Health rumours, scam messages, fake schemes and doctored videos
  • Early warning, and quick answers in plain language
  • Teaching people to check before they forward

This is about the safety of ordinary people. It is not politics, and we do not take sides.

07 / 07Ongoing

Faith, culture & age · आस्था, संस्कृति और उम्र

What India already owns, carried to the people least likely to go looking for it.

  • श्री राम लला — मन से मंदिर तक: branding, design and final version of the Granth. © Ramayan Research Council
  • Tulsidas Ji Ki Katha: a poet from 1532, for a generation that scrolls
  • Ageing as a second life, not an exit

5.5 lakh people watched the first Tulsidas episodes in seven days; 69% were aged 18–34 (Dainik Bhaskar, 2022).

How we work · तरीक़ा

One thread, five pulls.

Listen

सुनना

The first conversation, at any hour. The problem in your words, not ours.

You get · an honest yes or no

Walk the ground

ज़मीन पर

Research, survey and field reporting where the problem actually lives.

You get · a ground report

Find the thread

सिरा

The one move that loosens the rest, written so your team can act on it.

You get · a written assessment

Choose the hands

सही हाथ

We recommend the best executor for the job, or brief your own team, and write the scope they will be held to.

You get · the right executor, fairly scoped

Stay beside

साथ

Your people do the work. We review, correct and hold the line until it holds.

You get · a partner in the room

Assessment

What is wrong, what is not, and the evidence for each.

Ground report

Voices, photographs and observations, dated and placed.

IEC plan

Who needs to hear what, in which language, through which door.

Creative plan

The idea, the calendar, the formats, and who makes them.

Layer specification

Where an intelligence layer helps, what it reads, who uses it.

Why it costs less · कम ख़र्च, सही काम

We are paid to advise, not to sell you execution.

Because we do not carry out the work ourselves, we have no reason to make it bigger. We scope it properly before money is spent, recommend the executor best suited to it, and hold them to that scope. Across fields, that brings the cost down substantially.

  • Nothing built that the ground did not ask for
  • Executors compared on the job, not the pitch
  • Scope written before the purchase order
  • Your own team used wherever it can do the work
Who's asking? · आप कौन?

Tell us who you are and what is knotted. See the first move.

Who you are
What is knotted
A ministry · nobody knows what’s really happening on the ground

A national scheme is only as good as its last mile. We find where it breaks.योजना की असली परीक्षा आख़िरी गाँव में होती है।

The first move: a ground report before any plan.

We send people to the places your data describes, and set what the file says beside what the field says.

It begins withA free first conversation with the office, at any hour, in person or on a call.
You receiveA dated, placed ground report with voices, photographs and the three gaps that matter most.
Then, if you wishWe recommend the right executor, or brief your own team, and stay beside the work.
