The Resurge Council
Not a membership.
A moat.
The Council is a curated working group — founders, civil servants, scientists, artists, and the diaspora who never really left. Members shape our editorial agenda, host Conversations, and convene at Stage. Membership is by invitation, not application.
What the Council does
Shapes the agenda.
Members nominate stories, regions, and sectors we should be covering — and call out where we're falling short.
Convenes the network.
Three times a year, Council members meet in Patna, Delhi, and one diaspora city — closed-door, Chatham House rules.
Hosts Conversations.
Every member is a recurring guest. Every guest is a future member. The podcast is the front door.
Backs the work.
Members underwrite the public-interest reporting that no advertiser will.
