Impact Guru - Chief Executive Officer

CEO | ImpactGuru Foundation

About Us :

Impact Guru Foundation (IGF) aspires to build a world where healthcare is affordable and accessible to everyone. Impact Guru Foundation was founded in 2014 with this vision of promoting universal healthcare and has continued to learn and grow since. Our inspired and passionate board members have one more thing in common - an unshakeable faith in the intuitive desire and ability present within every individual to make a difference.

This is where IGF, as we like to call ourselves, comes in. We want to give people a platform through which they can ensure accessibility and affordability of the best possible healthcare for every single individual who needs it. It's an ambitious goal but with 1.6+ million lives being lost every year in India due to poor quality healthcare, it's the goal we need.
