Leadership team

The people guiding AFTER SOCIETY

AFTER SOCIETY is guided by a small, closely-knit leadership team spanning agriculture, technical coordination, communications and community outreach. They bring professional expertise from different fields, a genuinely collaborative and open working culture, and a hands-on presence at trainings, campaigns and village visits rather than direction from a distance.

Decisions are made together, ideas are welcomed from every level, and the same commitment to rural communities that started this organization in 2022 continues to shape every programme — supported by a dedicated network of 50+ active volunteers across the Garhwal region.
