My name is Aryaman Chhawcharia and I’m a student at the University of Texas at Austin, studying Finance and Canfield Business Honors. I’m currently interning at Azlin Software, a small software PE firm, where I’m researching B2B disaster management technologies, particularly in the context of weather-related events.

I came across the Sahana Software Foundation and was impressed by your work in open-source disaster management solutions. As part of my research, I would love to gain a deeper understanding of the industry from an NGO perspective, particularly in identifying the most impactful and widely adopted technologies. Would you be open to a brief call this or next week?

Some key areas I’d love to explore with you:

In your experience, what software features are the most mission-critical or “sticky” for organizations managing disaster response and preparedness?
Which weather types or disaster events (e.g., hurricanes, floods, wildfires) drive the highest need for advanced software solutions?
What trends are you seeing in the adoption of disaster management technologies, particularly in collaboration between NGOs, governments, and private enterprises?
Are there any emerging players or innovative approaches that you find particularly promising in this space?
What challenges do organizations typically face when implementing disaster management software, and what factors make a solution successful in the long run?

I’d really appreciate the opportunity to learn from your team's experience and insights. Please let me know if there’s a time that works for you—I’d be happy to accommodate your schedule.
