Rajeshwari Subramanian believes the next wave of progress in healthcare and the life sciences depends on whether emerging technologies reach the people who need them.

Rajeshwari is an MPH ‘26 student at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and has received scholarships from the Aga Khan Foundation and the KC Mahindra Education Trust. During her time at Harvard, she was a founding member of Science to People, a nonprofit developing technology that helps health communicators counter misinformation with peer-reviewed research. She also was part of a winning team at the 2025 Harvard Health Systems Innovation Lab Hackathon and served as vice president of the AI in Healthcare student organization.

Before Harvard, Rajeshwari spent five years in life sciences strategy in India, working with pharmaceutical and medtech companies to expand access to treatments for chronic and rare diseases.

She is now turning her focus toward climate and health in India, where she believes some of the most consequential health system challenges, and opportunities, of the next decade will emerge.
