Novo Nordisk India, IIM Ahmedabad collaborate for obesity care ecosystem
Novo Nordisk India Pvt Ltd (NNIPL) and the Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad (IIMA) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to drive a strategic partnership for a period of five years, till 2030.
The collaboration aims to strengthen the healthcare ecosystem in India through a multi-dimensional approach focused on non-communicable diseases (NCDs), especially obesity.
As a part of this MoU, NNIPL and IIMA will co-develop and implement impactful programmes under three key pillars, i.e. Health System Capacity Building, Policy Advocacy, and Health Economics. The partnership will prioritise creation of educational content, development of model frameworks for obesity clinics, and data-driven policy formulation to address the burden of obesity in India. It will also support in conducting research to assess its economic impact on individuals, workforce productivity, healthcare system, and the overall economy.
Commenting on the partnership, Vikrant Shrotriya, Managing Director, Novo Nordisk India Pvt Ltd, said, “India’s healthcare systems must urgently evolve to address the growing challenge of non-communicable diseases, particularly obesity. This collaboration with IIM Ahmedabad will jointly shape interventions that are research-backed, scalable, and sustainable. It is our firm belief that partnerships like these—grounded in evidence and executed through collaboration—can bring lasting change and help improve health outcomes for millions.”
