About NF

Consult. Build. Deliver.

Company Profile

Nurture and Foster Pvt. Ltd. (NF) is a young consulting and implementation agency from India with Big-Firm ambitions and a boutique ethos. Founded in 2021 and headquartered in Guwahati, NF has quickly grown into a “government advisory and consulting firm” serving clients across the public and development sectors. We aspire to scale like a Big Four consultancy – delivering world-class professionalism and results – while remaining rooted in Indian values and local realities. Our team’s experience spans global firms and apex institutions, which means we bring international best practices blended with on-the-ground Indian insight to every engagement. By combining strategic advisory with hands-on implementation, we offer end-to-end solutions that truly nurture ideas and foster lasting impact.

Vision

To emerge as a homegrown Indian consulting powerhouse known globally for transforming development landscapes. We envision a future where NF stands among the leaders, an India-bred firm with global credibility. This vision aligns with India’s broader goal of nurturing its own Big Four-equivalent consulting firms. We see ourselves contributing to this national vision by building scale, quality and competitiveness in our services. Our long-term vision is to set new benchmarks for consulting in India – digitally forward, socially responsive, and culturally attuned – ultimately helping reposition India from a back-office of the world to a source of innovation and thought leadership.

Our Values: We take pride in an ethos that merges professional rigor with the warmth of Indian culture. NF is governed by a People First Policy, meaning we put our people – employees, clients, and community – at the core of our decisions. Our key values include:

  • Integrity & Trust: We conduct our work with honesty, transparency, and accountability, building trust with partners at every step.
  • Excellence & Innovation: We hold ourselves to the highest standards of quality and constantly seek innovative solutions, including leveraging digital tools and data. (In a sector increasingly driven by digital adoption, we embrace technology to deliver cutting-edge solutions.)
  • Collaboration & Respect: We believe in teamwork and respect for diverse perspectives. True to Indian tradition, we foster relationships and collective growth – whether collaborating with government officials, industry experts, or local communities.
  • Impact & Inclusivity: We measure success by positive impact on society. Our approaches are Indianised – tailored to local contexts – to ensure even the most marginalized can benefit. Inclusivity and sustainability guide our project designs, from rural livelihoods to urban policy.

What Sets Us Apart: Nurture and Foster differentiates itself through a combination of scale and soul. Our “big firm” capabilities with a startup agility allow us to handle complex, large-scale assignments while remaining flexible and client-focused. A few of our key differentiators are:

  • People-First Approach: More than a mantra, our People First Policy ensures a nurturing work culture and long-term client relationships. We invest in talent and well-being, knowing that happy, empowered teams deliver the best service to clients. (Indeed, a people-first culture leads to greater innovation and collaboration, which translates into better solutions for our clients.)
  • End-to-End Services: We are one of the few consultancies that provide both high-level advisory and on-ground implementation. This means our strategies are practical and results-driven. We don’t just hand over a report – we partner with you through execution, acting as a single accountable team until outcomes are achieved.
  • Indian Context, Global Standards: We pride ourselves on an Indianised consulting methodology. All our frameworks are adapted to India’s unique socio-economic fabric – be it understanding local governance dynamics or cultural nuances in communities. At the same time, we adhere to global quality standards and ethical practices. Our work supports India’s push for strategic self-reliance in key domains like digital governance and infrastructure, helping build indigenous capacity without compromising on excellence.
  • Agile & Innovative: As a startup, we are nimble. We deploy small, expert teams that can quickly mobilize for a project, whether it’s evaluating a policy or managing a state-wide program. We also leverage digital-forward tools – from data analytics dashboards to mobile field apps – to bring innovation to traditionally underserved areas of consulting. This agility and tech-enabled mindset allow us to deliver faster and smarter, a crucial advantage in today’s rapidly changing environment.

In summary, NF’s identity is defined by future-ready thinking and deep-rooted values. We are not just building a company; we are building a movement – one that aims to transform consulting in India by putting people first, embracing technology, and honoring the rich context of our nation. We invite you to join us on this journey of nurturing ideas and fostering growth.
