At Behtar, we are working to make healthcare more accessible, inclusive, and community-driven. We build open-source, AI-enabled tools designed for Bharat: solutions that meet people where they are, in the languages they speak, and in ways that fit their daily lives.
Our journey began at
People+AI under the
EkStep Foundation, where our mission took shape: to bridge the gap between technology and India’s diverse cultural and healthcare realities. We believe innovation should not be designed in isolation and handed down, but co-created with communities, so that it truly reflects their needs and contexts.
This matters because the gaps are real. More than 70% of India’s population lives in rural areas, but fewer than 30% of doctors serve these regions. Many people never receive consistent care. By using AI thoughtfully, we aim to reduce barriers of language, literacy, stigma, and access—so that quality healthcare can reach everyone.
A Networked Movement
Behtar Foundation is not just an organization; it is part of a networked movement. We collaborate with public institutions, startups, researchers, academics, and nonprofits who are all working toward systemic transformation. Our approach is distributed and adaptive-sometimes that means co-developing digital tools, other times it means opening datasets, sharing assets, or supporting organizations in their own digital transformation journeys.
We see ourselves as one node in a larger network of change-makers. By working together, we can create solutions that are practical, scalable, and sustainable.
