Maulik Chauhan
Founder & Director – Trestle
The Trestle Story
Trestle is the brainchild of Maulik Chauhan, and it started with the establishment of Dobility India Pvt. Ltd., a subsidiary of Dobility Inc., a US-based company. The goal was to increase SurveyCTO's presence in India and provide local support to its Indian users.
In 2019, we transformed ourselves by spinning the Dobility India model to Trestle Research and Consulting Pvt Ltd. With the help of this spin-off, we were able to distinguish ourselves as a unique and committed service provider that equips organizations with the skills, expertise, and provides one-stop-solution for successfully rolling out their evaluation programs.
Backstory
One evening, our creator was watching and was enthralled by the patriotic theme of the Indian film "Swades" (also known as "Homeland"). He had no idea that this movie would inspire him and pave the way for extraordinary change.
The film's potent message sparked a fire inside him, altering his life's course irrevocably. He was motivated by the film to make a difference and accomplish something remarkable for the under-represented section of society.
Trestle developed over time into a force for social change. Trestle combines a strong innovation and technological forte with domain experience in research, monitoring & evaluation, and analytics.
With our unique strategy, Trestle became one of the top ventures providing end-to-end services and supporting organizations as they switch to digital data collection at every stage. Our turnkey solutions, training programs, expertise, and committed support played a crucial role in assisting organizations in embracing the power of technology and using data to create better policies, decisions, and social impact.
Our company's history is an encouraging example of growth and adaptation, and we are dedicated to assisting social organizations in bridging their data and technical gaps.
