Karnataka Health Promotion Trust

What Karnataka Health Promotion Trust does

Karnataka Health Promotion Trust (KHPT) is a charitable trust founded in 2002 and registered in 2003 in Bengaluru, India, focused on improving public health outcomes for vulnerable and marginalized populations. It operates across multiple health verticals including tuberculosis, HIV/AIDS, adolescent health, maternal and child health and nutrition, non-communicable diseases, and health for urban vulnerable populations. The organization implements programs across at least eight Indian states — Karnataka, Telangana, Assam, Bihar, Maharashtra, Rajasthan, and Uttar Pradesh — with five physical offices (Bengaluru headquarters, New Delhi, Guwahati, Muzaffarpur, and Secunderabad) and a staff of 251-500.

KHPT's core products are community health programs and evidence-based program models rather than software. Notable innovations include the TB Careline (a phone-based counselling service), Care and Support Groups for TB patients, the Differentiated Care Model with seven risk-based patient categories, the Specimen Collection and Transportation System, the Kangaroo Mother Care Model for low birth weight babies, Colour Coded Drug Packs for syndromic STI management, the Sphoorthi Girl-Leads-Girl adolescent empowerment initiative, the ASHA Diary tracking register, and the Vulnerability Mapping Framework for adolescents. Several of these models have been adopted and scaled by Government of Karnataka, Central TB Division, NACO, and ICMR. The organization does not offer commercial technology products, APIs, or software platforms.

KHPT's business model is grant-funded non-profit operations. Revenue is sourced from government contracts, international donor grants (notably USAID), corporate CSR funding (e.g., JSW Foundation), and academic partnerships (e.g., London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine). The organization holds FCRA registration valid through 2029, 12A and 80G tax exemptions valid through 2031, and CSR registration. KHPT reaches approximately 42 million people through TB projects, 4.4 million through NCD screening, 530,800 through HIV/AIDS programs, 450,000 adolescent girls through empowerment work, and 300,260 mothers and infants through MNCH programs. No revenue figure is publicly disclosed, and there is no traditional equity funding or venture capital backing.
