There is a paradox at the heart of many high-impact nonprofits in India. On the ground, the work is transformative. Lives are changing, communities are more resilient, and the data is solid. Yet, step outside the immediate circle of implementation, and the organisation is practically invisible. Leaders see the problem. The response is usually some version of the same playbook: hire a junior executive to manage social media or send the programme team to a three-day storytelling workshop.

Abstract Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) rank amongst the leading causes of long-term disability and mortality. Predicting CVD risk and identifying associated genes are crucial for prevention, early intervention, and drug discovery. The recent availability of UK Biobank Proteomics data enables investigation of blood proteins and their association with a variety of diseases. We sought to predict 10 year CVD risk using this data modality and known CVD risk factors.
