What Wockhardt Foundation does

Wockhardt Foundation is a national not-for-profit organization established in 2008 in Mumbai, India, operating as the social arm of pharmaceutical group Wockhardt Ltd. The foundation runs eight core programs addressing rural healthcare, hunger, sanitation, child education, digital learning, vocational skill development, dialysis care, and tribal junior college education. Its flagship program, Mobile 1000, deploys 211 mobile medical vans across 21 Indian states delivering free primary healthcare via the ADCR (Awareness, Diagnosis, Cure, Referral) methodology, and has cumulatively served 50 million patients since inception. Complementary programs include GUR+ free hemodialysis (5 centers, 100,000+ sessions), Pronto Toilet (4,702 toilets built under the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan), E-Learning (474 schools, audio-visual State Board curriculum content), WSDI skill development institutes, Hunger Project meal distribution, Khel Khel Mein edu-recreational centers, and WFJCAS junior college for tribal students in Palghar district.

The foundation's technology stack is operationally conventional rather than digital-first. Core assets are physical: mobile medical vans equipped for primary care, hemodialysis machines across partner-supported centers, and audio-visual e-learning software delivered to partner schools. Distribution depends on direct field operations (van routes, school partnerships, center networks) and on a 60+ corporate CSR partnership base that funds program-specific work, plus individual donor contributions routed through Razorpay, UPI, and Kotak Mahindra Bank under Section 80G tax exemption.

Wockhardt Foundation operates as a non-revenue non-profit; all programs are delivered free of cost to beneficiaries. Funding is sourced from mandatory Corporate Social Responsibility contributions (HDFC, HPCL, Kotak, Tata Steel Foundation, Goldman Sachs, Adani Foundation, GAIL, Indian Oil, NSDC and others), corporate grants (Rotary Clubs, NADI Tolia Trust, AMM Foundation for dialysis; GAIL/EIL/HPCL/Kotak for Mobile 1000 vans), and individual donations (the Hunger Project accepts Rs.40 per day per beneficiary sponsorships). The organization is governed by the Khorakiwala family, led by Trustee & CEO Dr. Huzaifa Khorakiwala, with Dr. Habil Khorakiwala (Founder and Chairman of Wockhardt Ltd) and Mrs. Nafisa Khorakiwala as Chairperson.
