SEEDS India: Disaster Relief For Those Who Need It Most

We are delighted to announce our partnership with SEEDS (Sustainable Environment and Ecological Development Society), one of India’s leading disaster response organisations with a 27-year track record of building resilience in communities across the subcontinent.

About SEEDS

Founded in 1994, SEEDS has been at the forefront of disaster preparedness, emergency response, and recovery in India. Their mission is to build the resilience of communities facing natural hazards, helping them prepare for, respond to, and recover from disasters.

SEEDS operates through an extensive network of partners, volunteers, local organisations, and government agencies across India. Managing this network, understanding its reach, and ensuring that help gets to where it’s needed most is a constant challenge.

Why Nectis

SEEDS chose Nectis to help visualise and manage their disaster support network. The platform provides a clear view of connections between stakeholders, identifies where the network is strong, and highlights gaps that could leave communities vulnerable.

“Understanding our network is essential to understanding our impact. Nectis gives us the visibility we need to ensure we’re reaching the communities that need us most.”

Manu Gupta, Co-Founder, SEEDS

What We’re Doing Together

Using Nectis, SEEDS is mapping the relationships between its team, partner organisations, community leaders, and government agencies. This network map helps SEEDS:

• Identify gaps in coverage before disasters strike
• Strengthen connections between organisations that need to coordinate during emergencies
• Measure the growth of their network over time
• Report on the breadth and depth of their reach to funders and partners

“We built Nectis to help organisations understand their networks. Seeing it used to strengthen disaster response networks in India is incredibly meaningful.”

Colin Campbell, CEO, Nectis

Looking Ahead

This partnership represents exactly the kind of impact we built Nectis to enable. By making the invisible networks of disaster response visible and measurable, we can help organisations like SEEDS reach more communities, faster, when they need it most.
