About Us
Founded in 2017, ON PURPOSE exists to use the power of communications to drive social change in India. It works with clients and organizations in 5 broad areas : Climate Action, Public Health, Education, Gender and Tech4Good.
The Culture We Proudly Offer
More than words. ON PURPOSE has been at the forefront of defining what a progressive workplace looks like. Our focus on building a safe and welcoming workplace for all has led us to innovate with policies like '6 days of paid leave for all menstruating employees'; 12 weeks of parental leave for all non-birthing people and a fixed lunch hour that is mentioned in our signatures. We also have a team of 'D&I Ke Gunde' who are trained to help us challenge our biases and create a more inclusive workplace. Don't just take our word for it - in 2024, ON PURPOSE won 'Diversity Champion Award' at ICCO Global Awards, 'Best Asia-Pacific Midsize Agency to Work For' at PRovoke Media, Best 'Agency of the Year, Mid-Sized' at ET Kaleido Awards and 'Social Impact & Policy Communication Agency of the Year' at PRMoment.in.
