Expansion highlights6 records

Direct peers

• Dasra: India-focused philanthropic foundation that catalyzes funding and capacity for high-impact nonprofits. Comparable as a mission-aligned India nonprofit ecosystem player that partners with funders and NGOs to scale health and development programs.
• PATH: PATH is a global health nonprofit with deep India presence that partners with governments and NGOs to deliver health innovations. Arogya is an existing PATH partner, and both organizations share a model of leveraging NGO, government, and corporate channels to deliver population-scale prevention interventions.
• World Diabetes Foundation: A global diabetes-focused foundation that funds prevention and care programs in low- and middle-income countries. Most directly comparable to Arogya's diabetes prevention mission, and active in India through grants to local NGOs and government programs.
• Public Health Foundation of India (PHFI): PHFI co-developed Arogya's Healthy Workplace Criteria and serves as a research/advocacy partner. It is an India-focused public health nonprofit working on NCD prevention and health systems strengthening — directly comparable mission, geography, and stakeholder base.
• Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI): CHAI operates across global health with a strong India footprint and works with governments and NGOs to scale health interventions. Comparable in leveraging large-scale partnerships, multi-country programs, and donor-funded models for population health impact.
• India Philanthropy Alliance: A coalition of 11 US-based nonprofits (of which Arogya is a founding member) collectively raising $125M annually for India-focused work. Directly comparable as a peer coalition member with overlapping donor base, programmatic focus, and diaspora-driven fundraising model.
• International Diabetes Federation: An umbrella organization of over 230 national diabetes associations in 170 countries. Comparable as a global diabetes-focused NGO working on awareness, prevention, and policy — though broader in scope and policy-driven rather than direct program delivery.

Emerging players

• Defeat Diabetes Foundation: A smaller diabetes awareness and prevention nonprofit. Compares to Arogya on disease focus and education-driven prevention model, but operates at much smaller scale and lacks Arogya's India depth and corporate wellness channel.
• HealthifyMe: An India-based digital health platform offering nutrition, fitness, and diabetes-prevention coaching via app. Comparable in targeting the same Indian corporate wellness and diabetes prevention need, but delivered via a for-profit, consumer-facing tech model rather than nonprofit education programs.

Broad incumbents

• American Diabetes Association: The largest US-based diabetes-focused nonprofit, with research funding, awareness campaigns, and advocacy. Comparable mission space but operates as a broad US-incumbent with research-funding emphasis rather than direct program delivery in emerging markets.
