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

TolaData is a specialised monitoring and evaluation platform designed to support organisations in tracking, managing, and reporting programme performance in the development sector.

Built for non-profits and international development actors, the platform enables users to collect and manage data, track indicators against results frameworks, and visualise progress through real-time dashboards.

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.

Together, the collaboration strengthens data systems, enhances programme accountability, and supports more informed, evidence-based decision-making.
