Our journey

Athena Infonomics was founded in Chennai, India in 2010. Chennai remains our global hub, and this southern Indian city exemplifies the local lens that we apply to our work. Not only is our team knowledgeable on issues pertaining to global development, but many of us are based or have spent considerable time working in low- and middle-income countries.
About Toladata

In partnership with Athena Infonomics, TolaData's technology is complemented by strategic expertise in research, data analytics, and digital advisory — enabling organisations to move beyond data collection towards actionable insight.
