Swastik led the Urban Practitioners’ Programme (UPP), the capacity building function at the Indian Institute for Human Settlements (IIHS) for four years (2017-2020) and was a core team member from its inception in 2010. Under his leadership, the UPP was able to reach more than 7,500 public, private, academic and civil society participants from hundreds of cities in 32 states of India. He built, led and mentored a dozen-strong team and demonstrated the impact of our training programmes at scale.
As programme lead, Swastik was responsible for portfolio, partner and revenue diversification and had creative control on course design, management and (in-person and online) delivery. Some of these projects are featured below.
