Beyond the balance sheet

Work in the social sector

Technology and access, taken to the places that get skipped.

Caresoft Foundation and the initiatives around it exist because the same software that runs a corporate hospital in Mumbai can run a charitable trust hospital in a district town — if somebody is willing to build it for them at a price that works. That is the thread running through everything below.

Caresoft Foundation

The group's social arm, funding health access work and putting hospital-grade technology into charitable trust institutions that could never buy it at commercial rates.
