Forum offers high-quality consulting services without a commercial or premium price tag. Our team comprises of carefully selected interns who work closely with senior professionals from the IIT Alumni cloud to deliver an outstanding value proposition. Both interns and seniors volunteer their time because they share our vision and values. We work for governments, startup ecosystem members, non-profits and social ventures to provide innovative, practical, and sustainable solutions to the challenges they face.
Forum provides socially conscious organisations around the world with affordable consultancy services in all areas of business: strategy, finance, sales and marketing, operations, logistics, and human resources.
We develop innovative, practical and sustainable solutions to whatever challenges organisations are facing: be it entering a new market, launching a new product, implementing effective donor management systems or benchmarking the best volunteer acquisition strategy.
To ensure that we are able to best support the needs of the organisations we work with, a bespoke project brief is scoped out together with the client that outlines project goals and deliverables (see more about our process below). If you do not see a service area here that speaks to your current challenges or areas of interest, please feel free to apply regardless and we can work together to see if we can provide expertise in that area.
These services are provided to non-profits and social enterprises that would not be able to afford the high consulting fees charged by traditional consulting companies.
We help these organisations to overcome challenges they’re facing and to operate as effectively as possible. 98% of the organisations we work with say that they would work with us again and would recommend Forum to other organisations.
To put this in perspective, this is equivalent to a person working full-time for 1000+ years. In addition to this, we have spent the majority of these hours working on projects linked directly to SDG goals.

The cost of each project varies depending on the scope of work, team size, and other factors. We work with our clients to tailor the project to their specific needs and budget. During the project tendering phase, we will provide a detailed proposal outlining the costs and scope of work.
The duration of a consulting engagement depends on the scope of work and can range from a few weeks to several months. Typically, our projects last between six to ten weeks, but we can work with our clients to adjust the timeline as needed.
We have a global network of branches, and we will work with you to identify the best fit branch for your project based on their experience, regional expertise, and availability. If you have a specific preference, we will do our best to accommodate it.
We take quality seriously and have a rigorous process to ensure that our projects meet the highest standards. Our consultants undergo a thorough screening process, followed by ongoing training and professional development. In addition, our branches have partnerships with corporate firms to provide quality assurance and guidance throughout the duration of the project.
