India HIV/AIDS Alliance

What India HIV/AIDS Alliance does

India HIV/AIDS Alliance (operating as Alliance India) is a not-for-profit Section 8 Company founded in 1999 and headquartered in New Delhi, India. The organization supports community-led responses to HIV and related public health issues across India, serving key and affected populations including people living with HIV (PLHIV), men who have sex with men (MSM), transgender and hijra communities, female sex workers, people who use drugs (PWUD), and youth. Its primary functional areas span HIV prevention and treatment linkage, TB, Hepatitis C & B, sexual and reproductive health, COVID response, gender-based violence mitigation, healthcare systems strengthening, and human rights advocacy for marginalized groups.

Alliance India delivers services through a decentralized network of more than 700 community-based organization partners across 32 states and union territories, operating programmes such as Vihaan (care and support for PLHIV), Samarth (community-led HIV screening and treatment linkage for MSM and TG communities), Pehchan (Global Fund-supported MSM/TG/hijra programming), Koshish (EU-supported sexual health for key populations), and Wajood (transgender empowerment). Its core technology asset is the eMpower mobile application, developed with IBM Global Services, which enables outreach workers to manage large volumes of client data on tablets in field settings. The organization has reached 1,778,206 lives to date, with 816,887 people brought back to antiretroviral therapy and 442,363 enabled to access welfare schemes.

The organization's revenue model is grant-funded rather than commercial. It receives funding from approximately 30 institutional donors, including multilateral bodies (The Global Fund, UNAIDS), bilateral agencies (US CDC, EU), the Government of India through NACO and State AIDS Control Societies, and private foundations (Elton John AIDS Foundation, AmplifyChange). Alliance India has 170 employees and is governed by a Board of Directors; Sonal Mehta has served as Chief Executive since 2016. The go-to-market approach is community-led, relying on civil society partnerships rather than direct commercial channels.
