Tackling India’s poverty is no small task. We have been working in this area for most of our professional lives and now, this initiative brings together uniquely talented people to make change happen.

As a recognized industry Social Enterprise is in its infancy in India and with the downturn in the non-profit sector, few agencies and organizations have the skills and resources needed to use an enterprise model to fuel change and increase reach of healthcare.
