History
hCentive was founded in 2009 by Sanjay Singh, Manoj Agarwala and Tarun Upadhyay. They started their activities before the Affordable Care Act became law, expecting that it would create the new market.[7][10]
The idea of founding the hCentive company emerged from concepts of the ACA when health care reform was being debated in the United States Congress.[5][11][12]
Management
The company’s strategy is driven by Sanjay Singh, a software engineer who emigrated from India.[10][12] In 2000 Singh co-founded GlobalLogic, a software services company in Vienna, Virginia. Over the next fourteen years, it grew to over 7,000 employees.[8][11]
