Dr Apurva Kashyap, BDS, MBA

Dynamic public health specialist with over 8 years of experience advancing reproductive and maternal health, strengthening health systems, and promoting gender equity. I bring extensive experience managing over $20M in grant funding from international donors, as part of a larger $60M sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) portfolio within a philanthropic organization. My work has supported initiatives reaching more than 2 million people across India. I have led strategic and advocacy efforts to advance women’s rights, increase access to short-acting and long-acting reversible contraceptives (SARCs and LARCs), promote legal access to medical abortion, and provide rights-based counseling to counter reproductive health misinformation. With expertise in SRHR, gender equality, and clinical quality, I offer technical leadership rooted in pro-choice, rights-based approaches. I am skilled at aligning grantmaking strategies with donor priorities and value-for-money principles, and at translating research into actionable policy and practice.
