Prithvi Sahir Vatsalya (he/him)

Senior Associate

Prithvi is Senior Associate for Digital Communications at Centre for Public Impact. 

He joined the CPI team in 2025.

Prithvi holds a Master’s in Psychology from SNDT University in Mumbai.

Before joining CPI, he served as a Research and Media Catalyst at the Godrej DEi Lab, advocating for diversity, equity, and inclusion in workplaces and beyond. Prithvi’s previous roles include being the Learning Catalyst at the public health NGO Swasti. He co-wrote his first indie film, “Lailaa Manju”, penned a Hindi graphic novel titled “Sarayu Bana Sayana”, and created a podcast called “Transpeak”.

His work has earned him fellowships and residencies at the Ideosync UNESCO Information Fellowship and The Digital Everyday. Earlier in his career, Prithvi worked as a journalist with mid-day and Youth Ki Awaaz.

What excites him about leading CPI’s digital communications strategy is the opportunity to help create a progressive, empathetic world for future generations. Prithvi believes that building trust between government and citizens is essential for meaningful change, and digital communication is key in bridging that gap.
