Stay a step ahead with advanced risk and decision intelligence.

At RAKSHA, we provide the decision and risk intelligence  you need to avoid being caught by surprise. 

The world is full of uncertainty. It’s challenging to make big decisions and mitigate risk when you don’t understand or have access to all the pieces of the puzzle.

We combine the latest quantitative, AI-powered data analysis and modeling with field-tested human expert analysis to make sense of complex issues and risks. Together, we produce powerful, actionable insights that help senior leaders in business, government, and international bodies identify, understand and respond to emerging risks that might impact their operations, service delivery and reputation.

Our Moral Compass

We are called RAKSHA, Sanskrit for “protection,” because we believe that to comprehend cascading, tangled  global risks is an optimistic act of resilience and resistance. The most fragile amongst us bear the brunt of unanticipated risk. If we do not create and transform the infrastructure and investments for existing risks and vulnerabilities, future compounding uncertainties will impede our ability to manage economic and human vulnerability, and even threaten to increase it. 

RAKSHA Is rooted in principles of liberation. We believe in the collective. We believe in justice. We believe in equity. We believe in plurality. 

We proactively shield against crisis, so good can safely, freely, and equitably flourish.
