About ACT
ACT was born as the Action Covid Taskforce – a collective of venture capitalists, tech entrepreneurs, and social impact leaders who pooled their strengths to raise funds and deploy resources wherever needed. Actioning prevention protocols, providing oxygen concentrators, pioneering tele-ICU services, driving vaccinations & enabling mental health counseling – they stopped at nothing to deliver whatever the country critically needed during the COVID 1st and 2nd waves.
Today, ACT is a robust community of people with expertise and goodwill who are working together to seed innovations that can address complex social problems at scale; across education, healthcare, climate action, and gender inclusivity.
