The Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health’s center in Mumbai is the first in South Asia. From 2015 to 2022, the space for the Center was provided through a generous charitable contribution by Dr. Swati Piramal and Mr. Ajay Piramal, two Harvard alumni. Dr. Swati Piramal, who graduated from Harvard’s School of Public Health in 1992, is one of India’s leading philanthropists and industrialists, and her efforts are focused on improving health care and public health in India and globally.
