In January, Embrace Global officially launched the Ujala Project in India, marking the beginning of a new partnership grounded in trust, shared values, and a long-term commitment to newborn health.
Embrace Global CEO Melody Westen spent time with partners on the ground, including visits to Ujala Cygnus Healthcare and Ujala Cygnus Rainbow Hospital, where the project is kicking off. The visit brought together leadership, clinicians, and partners around a shared goal: ensuring that vulnerable newborns have access to safe, reliable warmth at the moment they need it most.
Ujala, meaning “light,” reflects the spirit of this work. The project is designed not as a one-time intervention, but as the start of a deeper collaboration focused on strengthening neonatal care, supporting healthcare workers, and building systems that serve families well beyond the hospital walls.
As part of the project kickoff, Ujala Cygnus Rainbow Hospital received two Embrace infant warmers, which are now in use caring for newborns who need thermal support. That alignment was clear throughout the visit. As Dr. Shuchin Bajaj, Founder Director of Ujala Cygnus Healthcare, shared:
“Partnerships like this only work when they are anchored in trust, shared values, and a genuine commitment to the communities we serve. The alignment between our missions, and the way your team combines deep compassion with disciplined execution, gives me real optimism for what we can build together. For us, clinical care without community engagement is always incomplete, and it is reassuring to work with partners who see health in similarly holistic terms.”
For Embrace Global, the Ujala Project reflects a broader approach to impact. One that values collaboration at the local level, prevention alongside care, and relationships built for the long term.
As the Ujala Project moves forward, Embrace remains focused on what matters most: a world where no matter where a baby is born never determines whether they survive, and where light, care, and dignity reach families when they need it most.
