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 seeks to shift this paradigm by advancing a science-driven approach to prevention that enables people not only to live longer, but to live healthier for longer. We believe that improving India's health outcomes requires deliberate investment in evidence-based preventive interventions across the life course, with particular emphasis on early-life prevention to reduce the burden of disease later in life.
The vertical is committed to placing healthspan alongside lifespan at the centre of public health thinking. By combining rigorous research, policy engagement, strategic communications, and scalable interventions, we seek to strengthen the preventive public health ecosystem, shape state action, and inspire healthier behaviours across populations. If this vision excites you, we invite you to join our dynamic team and contribute to the ambitious goal of building a healthier India.
About the Role
You will join the preventive public healthcare vertical to lead research on physical activity, exercise,
mobility, and their role in promoting healthy ageing and preventing disease.
As Research Lead for Exercise & Movement, you will be responsible for generating and synthesising evidence on physical activity and exercise, assessing their relationship with health and ageing outcomes, and developing evidence-based exercise recommendations. You will translate scientific evidence into practical recommendations and frameworks that can inform preventive health interventions, programmes, and policy.
Key Responsibilities
● Leading research on physical activity and exercise:
You will lead research examining the role of
physical activity, exercise, mobility, and movement in preventing disease and promoting healthy
ageing across the life course.

You will assess evidence on exercise and physical activity interventions,
including their effectiveness, feasibility, and potential for implementation at scale in preventive
health settings.
● Generating and synthesising evidence:

syntheses, research studies, and analytical work related to exercise and movement. You will
ensure that research outputs are methodologically rigorous, scientifically credible, and relevant to
Indian contexts.

actionable recommendations for preventive health programmes, policy, and interventions, working
closely with policy and implementation teams.
