Each year, about 6M children in India—out of roughly 26M births—miss their full set of recommended vaccinations by age one, despite strong vaccine supply and trust in efficacy by parents.
About Varsha
Varsha worked for several years in global funds and foundations, including at the World Bank and Open Society, on improving governance in African countries. Later she got excited about the new evidence that showed certain nudges could help more parents to get their kids vaccinated. She got her Master's degree in Development Management from LSE.
