What we do
AHA’s work is organised across eight mission areas that together span the four quality-of-life dimensions the Dalberg framework identifies as foundational to longevity: economic security, health and well-being, freedom to participate, and social connectedness.
AHA serves as a collective voice for healthy ageing and longevity, bringing together civil society, researchers, practitioners, innovators and industry stakeholders to influence policy, strengthen governance, and integrate ageing into national and state development agendas.
Areas of focus
AHA promotes a life-course approach to healthy ageing by advancing awareness, evidence and policy dialogue around prevention, health span, longevity science, lifestyle medicine and age-related research.
In collaboration with Longevity India and research partners.
Areas of focus
AHA works to elevate dementia, cognitive health, caregiving and integrated care as national priorities through advocacy, awareness, standards and cross-sector engagement.
In collaboration with Dementia India Alliance and caregiving organizations.
Areas of focus
AHA promotes age-friendly environments that support participation, accessibility, dignity and social inclusion, aligned with global frameworks such as the WHO Age-friendly Cities and Communities movement. This includes addressing ageism, fostering intergenerational engagement, and encouraging community-led approaches to ageing well.
Areas of focus
AHA strengthens collaboration across stakeholders by connecting organizations, professionals, researchers, innovators, healthcare providers, philanthropies and government stakeholders. Through its membership network, AHA creates opportunities for collective learning, partnership and action.

Drawing on ecosystem insights from organizations such as Vayah Vikas and other innovation partners.
Areas of focus
AHA facilitates the development, dissemination and application of knowledge across the ageing ecosystem. This includes sector reports, policy briefs, evidence repositories, measurement frameworks, and translating research into practical action for policymakers, practitioners and communities.
Areas of focus
AHA supports the development and dissemination of competency frameworks, standards, good practices and learning opportunities that strengthen organizations and professionals working across the ageing ecosystem, while leveraging the expertise of member organizations and sector leaders.
Areas of focus
We work where the ecosystem is thin — not where it is already strong
AHA scope
AHA will aspire to enable, strengthen and amplify the work of organizations already creating impact across the country. Its focus will not be on addressing gaps that are already being adequately serviced by member organizations.
Each mission is built to be worked on together — by members, researchers, innovators, funders and government partners.
