Welcome to Ideosync

Ideosync works towards integrating innovative communication methodologies
into development and social change programmes and initiatives;
and to equip communities and NGOs with an understanding of
communication techniques and technologies

Ideosync's forte is the creation of integrated turnkey communications support for development projects. With extensive experience in developing and designing communication strategies and tools on education, health, gender, sexuality and HIV, Ideosync's projects span the entire spectrum of development communication - from communication project design and the development of audience-driven communication materials, to project assessment and review, capacity building and training

Ideosync provides key inputs and support for development initiatives, both at the policy and planning level, as well as at the training and field implementation levels; and has worked extensively with the UN system (UNAIDS, UNICEF, UNDP-REACH) bilateral support agencies (DFIDI, USAID) and international non governmental agencies (BBC - World Service Trust, The Ford Foundation, The John D. & Catherine T Macarthur Foundation, Family Health International, Equal Access). With over a decade of hands-on experience in creating innovative, creative and purposive audience-derived audiovisual tools and communication materials, Ideosync’s communication tools are in wide use nationally and internationally. Many of these tools - notably the Growing Up video-based RSH module and the fiction feature Nirankush - have set new standards in tool development process and user-friendliness, as attested to by the numerous awards they have received. 

Ideosync projects are implemented and guided by communication experts who have extensive experience in the development sector, and in working with the United Nations, the bilateral aid and support organization system, and the Govt. of India.
