About Swaastha — Reimagining Healthcare
Swaastha was Aarambh's one India-wide programme, built with India Accelerator around a collaboration between startups, academic institutions and industry. It is closed: applications ran for a week in June 2024, the page now reads as closed, and the university's news listing describes the January 2025 event as its first Swaastha demo day. No second cohort has been announced.
