Built in the field,
not in a deck.

ApiCare was selected by the Government of Sikkim as a private-sector partner under RAMP, a World Bank-financed MSME programme: government counterparts, KPMG audit cycles, and training for smallholder farmers.

That is the experience I'm bringing to programme management and digital-for-development roles.
