Our story
Clarity for every social change initiative.
We're on a mission to bring accountability and evidence-based decision-making to every social development organisation in India.
MECoLab — Monitoring & Evaluation Collaboration — exists to empower social development organisations with tools that make impact measurable, transparent, and actionable.
We built it because existing tools didn’t fit. Most M&E software is either too generic — forcing teams back into spreadsheets — or too complex, built for multilateral institutions with armies of consultants. MECoLab sits in the sweet spot: powerful enough for serious portfolio management, simple enough for field teams to use every day.
One source of truth — connecting field data to portfolio dashboards, and turning raw data into compelling evidence of impact.
Three principles guide everything we build.
Evidence-based
Every feature turns raw field data into evidence that informs decisions — from real-time dashboards to auto-generated reports. From anecdotes to insight.
Built for the field
We design for the reality of field work in India — offline entry, mobile-first interfaces, and workflows that respect the time of field coordinators and programme officers.
Collaborative
M&E isn't just for the M&E officer. Collaboration runs through every layer, so field teams, managers, leadership, and funders get the right information at the right time.
Built ground-up for the Indian social sector.
District-level mapping
Organise projects by Indian districts, blocks, and villages for granular geographic oversight.
SDG alignment
Tag projects and activities to Sustainable Development Goals for funder-aligned, global impact tracking.
Built for the Indian context
Financial year reporting (Apr–Mar), IST time zones, and rupee budgets — calibrated for the Indian social sector.
Built by practitioners who understand M&E.
We’ve spent years working alongside programme teams, field coordinators, and M&E officers across India. We understand logframes, indicator tracking plans, donor reporting, and the reality of data collection in low-connectivity environments.
Every feature — from offline data entry to financial-year reporting to district-level mapping — exists because someone on the ground asked for it. We keep evolving the platform in close partnership with the organisations we serve.
The commitment is simple: build tools that make M&E teams more effective, not more busy — because when M&E works, more impact reaches where it matters most.
