The Challenge

TARSHI, a pioneering organization advancing sexual and reproductive health rights through courses, trainings, and publications, faced a crisis most nonprofits never solve. For nearly three decades, they've provided rights-based, feminist sexuality education across India, but reaching beyond traditional NGO circles meant confronting tensions commercial brands never face.

Our Approach

Rights-centered research, intersectional audience mapping, and feminist economic principles, designing every framework to maintain TARSHI's integrity while building sustainable revenue. We had to think beyond just marketing tactics. It was about building sustainability architecture, economic infrastructure where revenue generation advances rights rather than compromises them.

Execution

Phase 1: Market Research & Audience Mapping

  • Analyzed peer SRHR organizations balancing feminist principles with fee-based revenue models
  • Mapped TARSHI's audiences intersectionally, revealing growth segments beyond traditional NGOs
  • Documented platform content restrictions to identify terminology triggering algorithmic suppression

Phase 2: Strategic Frameworks & Messaging

  • Created messaging frameworks destigmatizing sexuality across literacy levels without triggering censorship
  • Designed "terminology bridges" maintaining message integrity while avoiding platform restrictions
  • Developed tiered pricing model using feminist economics with cross-subsidization principles

Phase 3: Implementation Blueprint & Advocacy Alignment

  • Aligned content launches with SRHR advocacy calendar, mapping to cultural moments when restrictions ease
  • Created content adaptation frameworks translating sexuality concepts into platform-acceptable language
  • Developed resistance navigation toolkits for conservative stakeholder pushback

Phase 4: Measurement Systems & Knowledge Transfer

  • Designed impact indicators tracking rights advancement beyond vanity metrics
  • Developed feedback mechanisms protecting anonymity and honoring trauma-informed practices
  • Delivered comprehensive strategy document integrating feminist principles throughout
