Why do we exist?

Swasti ("wellbeing" in Sanskrit) was born from a belief that well-being shouldn't be a privilege for a few. We envision a world where everyone, regardless of their background, has the opportunity for everyday wellbeing - daily health and happiness . And, this is why we exist.

"In the world of complacent and self-righteous sector of development, organizations like Swasti Health Catalyst provide a reliable address of quality, clarity, commitment, accountability and professionalism."

"When Walmart and its Foundation were looking for an organization to work with factories in India, we wanted to work with a group that could empower women and help factory management create an enabling environment where development could be sustained. The (Swasti Health Catalyst) team has been proactive, pragmatic, solutions-focused, skilled, innovative, thoughtful, understanding of human dynamics and relationships, humble, kind, inclusive, collaborative, and focused."

"Swasti Health Catalyst has become one of the most technically proficient organisations working in the field of health and social development. In India and abroad, Swasti Health Catalyst has made significant contributions to the quality of implementation by providing much needed technical support and assistance. With experience at the grass root and also at the global level, Swasti Health Catalyst has been a contributor to India’s National AIDS Control Programme."

"To me, research and practice are two wings on which knowledge takes flight. I have had the opportunity to work with several organizations. Very few bring the combination of deep commitment to making an impact at a practical level and yet being genuinely interested in finding out what works and what does not. This is what makes the Swasti Health Catalyst team special."
