NGO360o is an innovative social endeavor of Quatriz Business Solutions, an established compliance and management consultancy firm, successfully running from half a decade. During our practice we observed the difficulties the NGOs faced in complying with the respective statutory/legal requirements that govern the operations of the NGO and which impacted their operations to such an extent that in certain extreme situations some of them even discontinued their operations. It was also observed that there’s no platform for the NGOs to collaborate and work towards the greater good of the society and contribute to development of our beloved Nation.
