Hear from WGHV project participants themselves about their project and
on-site experiences
Wysa and Proactive for Her (Spring 2024)
WGHV partnered with two Bangalore-based organizations to address pressing business challenges. One team helped Wysa, an AI-powered mental health app, translate its technology for non-technical investors, sharpen its pitch, and assess opportunities in the U.S. and Europe. The other worked with Proactive for Her, a leading women’s healthcare provider, to define a strategy for new fertility and vaccine offerings and identify new partners and markets.
ImpactGuru (Spring 2023)
WGHV partnered with ImpactGuru, an India-based crowdfunding platform that helps patients raise funds for medical treatment, to develop a strategy for entering the U.S. market. The team conducted primary research to identify target patient and donor segments, then built marketing plans to reach them efficiently. The project concluded at ImpactGuru’s Mumbai headquarters, where the students met the leadership team, gained firsthand insight into India’s healthcare system, and adapted their recommendations
on-site.
Makunda Hospital (Spring 2019)
WGHV partnered with Makunda Christian Leprosy and General Hospital in northeast India to study how it identifies and cares for its most vulnerable patients. The team documented the hospital’s charity process from start to finish, recommended ways to reduce false positives and scale the process as the hospital grows, and developed best-practice documentation that other healthcare organizations can use. They also traveled to Assam to observe the hospital’s operations and visit patients in the communities it serves.
Swasth Foundation (Spring 2017)
WGHV partnered with Swasth Foundation in Mumbai, India, to help expand access to affordable primary care for the urban poor. The team analyzed clinic data, surveyed patients, and developed an implementation plan for a discount pass program to grow membership. They also researched options for broader hospitalization insurance coverage. They visited Swasth clinics and shadowed a community outreach worker to see the model in action.
