About the portfolio organization
Khushi Baby is an 11-year-old digital health nonprofit with deep expertise in designing and deploying solutions for Ministries of Health across India. As a technical support partner to state governments in Rajasthan, Karnataka, and Maharashtra, Khushi Baby drives data-driven health systems strengthening at scale.
With a 120-member interdisciplinary team spanning public health, epidemiology, data science, software engineering, product design, and health policy, Khushi Baby reimagines how community health data is collected, integrated, and translated into meaningful action. The organization works to ensure that frontline data does not remain static but instead informs timely decision-making and improved service delivery at the last mile.
Khushi Baby’s work has secured over $20 million in government co-investment and is projected to reach 100 million people through 100,000 community health workers. By 2030, the organization aims to influence 15 percent of India’s public health decision-making processes through strengthened data-to-action systems.
At its core, Khushi Baby seeks to close the public health feedback loop at the last mile by connecting quality data, actionable insights, and effective ground-level action. The organization enables transformation across policy, program design, frontline practice, and partnerships, ensuring that digital systems translate into measurable improvements in health outcomes.
About the Fellowship role
Partnerships & Impact Stewardship Fellow will operate at the intersection of donor stewardship, narrative coherence, and strategic engagement. This role is designed to strengthen Khushi Baby’s post-award grant lifecycle by building structured reporting systems, packaging cohesive impact narratives across portfolios, and supporting deeper engagement with anchor funders and public-private partnerships.
Unlike a traditional grants management role, this position is less compliance-heavy and more focused on operational excellence, storytelling, and strategic donor engagement. The Fellow will help institutionalize systems and SOPs for reporting, ensure alignment across programs, finance, and partnerships, and support the Partnerships & Strategy Lead in stewarding high-value institutional relationships.
The time horizon of this role focuses primarily on current grants and existing funder portfolios, with a forward-looking lens on long-term anchor partnerships. The Fellow will report to the Partnerships & Strategy Lead and collaborate closely with program, finance, and evidence teams.
