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 under the governance and policy team to

build scientifically rooted, evidence-based policy content aimed at shaping policy discourse,

institutional decision-making, and real-world interventions in India’s public health ecosystem.

The role involves translating public health and medical evidence into policy-ready insights that can

inform internal strategy as well as engagement with government and allied stakeholders.

Responsibilities may expand over time based on performance, ownership, and analytical rigor.

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

rigorous research and developing context-specific public health hypotheses. This includes

stress-testing insights through triangulation across policy documents, program data, scientific

literature and field realities, and assessing feasibility within India’s health system and

governance structures. The objective is to ensure that recommendations are scientifically

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

● Tracking Public Health and Policy Developments:
You will continuously track and synthesize

developments across public health practice, health policy and medical science discourse, both

in India and globally. This includes proactively identifying emerging evidence, paradigm shifts,

and regulatory or programmatic changes, and assessing their implications for India’s

preventive health strategy.

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

sustain relationships with top health researchers, public health experts, academicians, health

administrators, medical practitioners 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 public health and medical 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 create durable knowledge assets beyond individual

projects.

● Training of generalist team members:
You will play a key role in training and mentoring

generalist policy team members, particularly those from non-public health and non-medical

backgrounds. This will involve translating complex health and policy concepts into accessible

insights, enabling cross-functional teams to engage confidently and meaningfully on public

health issues.

● Client interaction and communication:
