Diabetes India

What Diabetes India does

Diabetes India is a non-profit professional organization focused on diabetes care education, research dissemination, and clinical best-practice sharing among healthcare professionals in India. Founded in 2009 by the late Dr. S. M. Sadikot and headquartered in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, it serves a stated community of over 10,000 diabetes care professionals. Its primary activity is the biennial World Congress of Diabetes, which is targeted to scale to 3,000+ delegates and 500+ paper presentations for its 2026 edition, alongside a portfolio of publications, textbooks, and continuing medical education programs.

The organization's core offerings include the World Congress, peer-reviewed publications, and a newly launched mobile application designed to support delegate networking and conference engagement. Conference logistics are outsourced to Rx Events Pvt. Ltd., indicating a deliberately lean operating model in which the in-house team retains editorial, scientific, and partnership ownership while delegating execution. The technology footprint is conventional: a content and events platform supplemented by a mobile app, with no disclosed data, AI, or analytics infrastructure.

Revenue is generated primarily through delegate registrations, publication and textbook sales, and conference sponsorships. Diabetes India maintains affiliations and collaborative relationships with the International Diabetes Federation (IDF), American Diabetes Association (ADA), European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD), ATTD, ISPAD, PCDE, DESG, and the NCD Alliance, providing international content, faculty, and credibility inputs. Current leadership is distributed across Dr. S. R. Arvind (President), Dr. Banshi Saboo (Secretary), Dr. Sanjay Reddy (Treasurer), and Dr. Anoop Misra (Trustee and Editor), all senior practicing diabetologists.

Broad incumbents

• International Diabetes Federation (IDF): Global umbrella organization for national diabetes associations; DiabetesIndia is an IDF affiliate member. IDF operates the World Diabetes Congress and is the most globally relevant peer in the same professional-association category.
• American Association of Clinical Endocrinology (AACE): US-based clinical endocrinology society running an annual congress, CME, and clinical guidelines; comparable professional-association model serving endocrinologists with overlap in diabetes content.
• American Diabetes Association (ADA): Largest US-based diabetes professional and patient organization, running the Scientific Sessions congress and Standards of Care; an alliance partner of DiabetesIndia and a benchmark for diabetes CME, publications, and advocacy.
• European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD): Europe's leading diabetes research society, running the EASD Annual Meeting; an alliance partner of DiabetesIndia and directly comparable in the congress-plus-publication model.
• Diabetes UK: Major UK diabetes charity and professional organization with research funding, conferences, and publications; comparable in mission and membership-based funding model, though operating in a different geography.
• Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF / Breakthrough T1D): Global type 1 diabetes research and advocacy organization, overlapping with DiabetesIndia's ISPAD-aligned pediatric and adolescent diabetes work; comparable in mission-driven model, though more research-grant focused.

Direct peers

• Research Society for the Study of Diabetes in India (RSSDI): India's largest professional society for diabetes care professionals, directly comparable in mission (diabetes professional education, research dissemination, annual congress) and target audience (Indian diabetologists and endocrinologists), with a longer-running annual meeting.
• Endocrine Society of India (ESI): Indian national society for endocrinologists that hosts its own annual conference and CME programs; overlaps with DiabetesIndia's audience of endocrinologists and diabetologists practicing in India.

Regional players

• International Society for Pediatric and Adolescent Diabetes (ISPAD): Global society focused on pediatric and adolescent diabetes; DiabetesIndia is an alliance member. ISPAD is a relevant peer for the type 1 / pediatric diabetes segment but operates globally rather than India-specific.
• Association of Physicians of India (API): India's largest professional body of internal medicine physicians, which includes diabetes care within its scope and runs the APICON annual congress; partially overlapping audience and conference-driven model in India.
