Mr Parth Pandya 

Research and Evaluation Intern

I’m Parth and I’m a Master’s student studying Social Research Methods and Applied Statistics. I also did an undergraduate degree at Southampton in Pop Geog. I am the Research and Evaluation Intern for the Social Impact Lab.

My role entails operational research on potential funding and stakeholders globally as well as quantitative and qualitative research on SIL programmes. The Social Impact Lab is important to me because it combines meaningful change and innovation with cultural and social sensitivities – this is the type of change the world needs. I was involved in the Spark India program last year, where my passion grew in driving social change by helping an Indian NGO, Kranti, with their curriculum digitisation.
