Evidence snapshot for Mumbai
Mumbai hosts several evidence-based programmes addressing digital inclusion and social change. BarrierBreak, founded in 2004, runs over 200,000 accessibility-testing hours annually by embedding testers with disabilities in product evaluation. Parivartan trained cricket coaches in 27 Mumbai schools to teach gender equity to 309 adolescent boys, achieving significantly greater attitude gains than comparison schools, though bystander intervention behaviour improvements were only marginal. A randomized experiment with Accenture consulting in 20 Mumbai textile plants demonstrated that adopting standard management practices raised productivity by 11% in year one.
