About the preventive healthcare vertical

Non-communicable diseases cause the highest number of premature deaths globally. India, too,

faces a rising burden of non-communicable and preventable diseases driven by modifiable risk

factors. However, the current systemic approach focuses on treatment and management rather

than prevention.

The preventive healthcare vertical aims to shift the paradigm and change the way health is

currently addressed in India; the focus should not be restricted to how long Indians live, but also

how well they live, with deliberate emphasis on early-life preventive interventions. With this vision,

we are focused on bringing the spotlight to preventive public health in India, aiming to improve the environment of state interventions and public health communications to influence individual

health and behaviour  this excites you, we invite you to join our dynamic team and

contribute to the audacious goal.

About the Role

You will join the preventive public healthcare vertical of the governance and policy team to build

scientifically rooted, evidence-based content optimised to drive discussions and solutions both

internally and with stakeholders.

Your role will largely focus on the following areas, with a scope of

expanding responsibilities based on performance, willingness and rigour.

● Stress testing and validation of research insights:
You will be responsible for conducting

rigorous research, developing context-specific hypotheses, stress-testing them for validation

by triangulating evidence across sources, and assessing the real-world applicability within

India’s public health policy context. The goal will be to ensure that insights are scientifically

sound, medically feasible, and decision-ready for policy formulation and advocacy.

● Tracking of domain-specific developments:
You will be required to continuously track and

synthesise developments across medical science, public health and policy discourse to stay

updated on the emerging research as well as real-world health and policy decisions. This

includes proactively flagging emerging evidence, paradigm shifts, and regulatory or

programmatic changes relevant to healthcare.

● Networking with relevant domain professionals:
You will be required to actively build and

sustain relationships with top medical practitioners, health researchers, public health experts,

academicians, health administrators and allied professionals to strengthen the quality,

relevance, and credibility of policy recommendations. These engagements will be leveraged to

ground research in field realities and expert consensus, and push the agenda of on-ground,

real-world impact.

● Building institutional knowledge on subject matters:
You will anchor institutional memory by

codifying medical and public health knowledge into structured repositories, frameworks, and

reference materials. This will enable continuity, elevate the organisation’s long-term technical

depth in preventive health policy, and ensure a long-lasting footprint of your work.

● Training of generalist team members:
You will be responsible for training and mentoring

generalist policy team members from non-medical backgrounds by translating complex

scientific concepts into accessible insights for building overall team capability. This includes

building shared understanding and enabling non-medical colleagues to engage confidently on

health topics.

● Client interaction and communication:
You will directly engage with clients, including

government stakeholders and allied institutions, to present evidence-based insights, explain

technical findings, and support informed policy decision-making. You will tailor communication

to senior policymakers, ensuring clarity, credibility, and strategic alignment.
