Sagar Atre

Sagar is a public health professional with nearly a decade of experience across the domains of RMNCH, infectious diseases and health innovations in infectious diseases. He is a graduate in Pharmacy and has completed his Masters in Communication from Ohio University. Before Dimagi, Sagar was part of the health team at Intellecap Advisory Solutions. At Intellecap, Sagar worked on the USAID Urban Health Initiative in Afghanistan, and a market assessment on hand hygiene in Indonesia for UNICEF. Previously, he was part of the technical team at India Health Fund-Tata Trusts, where he led the malaria innovations portfolio. He has regularly written for regional Marathi and English publications about public health and related topics. One of his abiding passions is trying out and discovering new algorithm(s) for the perfect Biryani, and many other types of food and trying to replicate them (with mixed success). Recently, he has also been busy explaining concepts of (basic!) astronomy, like primordial matter and (basic!) virology, about the viral replication of COVID- 19 to his 7-year-old daughter who is eternally curious about everything.
