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.

You will translate research findings into credible insights and recommendations that can inform preventive health interventions, policy, and practice.

syntheses, clinical research assessments, and other research activities to evaluate the scientific
evidence relating to traditional medicine and integrative health.
● Researching integrative health approaches:

approaches, identifying areas where further research or validation is required.

research, and other scientific evidence relating to traditional medicine interventions, ensuring
