I am a generalist based in Bengaluru, India, with 8+ years across non-profits, startups, and my own business. I have run teacher-training programs at government scale, built operations, growth systems, and most recently ran an e-commerce business solo. I am new to effective altruism and drawn to its emphasis on evidence, rigor, and honest reporting of what does and doesn't work.
Hi everyone, I'm Subham, from Bangalore, India.
I came across EA while applying to an org funded by GiveWell. Their rigor and transparency drew me in. It felt refreshing to come across something that cares deeply while still being careful about maximum impact.
I've been a teacher with Teach for India, and I've worked in various program management roles across non-profits and startups. What draws me to EA is the overlap between a business's cost-effectiveness and a non-profit's drive for impact.
I currently run an e-commerce store solo. But impact is what's pulling me back toward full-time work that feels worth doing. This forum is a chance to meet orgs and people working in the areas I'm curious about: global health, and AI safety.
