Hope Trust

What Hope Trust does

Hope Trust is a Hyderabad, India-based mental health and addiction recovery organization founded in 2002, operating under the legal entity Arel Hope Recovery Services LLP. It provides individual therapy, psychiatric consultations, addiction recovery programs (30-day inpatient-style, extended aftercare, nicotine cessation, and gambling/internet cessation), family intervention services, corporate wellness offerings, and clinical training. Its underlying "technology" is the clinical practice itself — multidisciplinary delivery by 15+ licensed psychologists, psychiatrists, addiction counsellors, and physicians — supplemented by a self-serve therapist booking platform and a content library of 395+ blog articles used as a top-of-funnel acquisition channel.

The product portfolio spans core therapy (individual, couples, family, psychiatry, queer-affirmative care), structured addiction packages priced between INR 10,500 and INR 26,500, at-home intervention services for families, and a corporate wellness vertical offering Employee Assistance Programs and workshops. Delivery is hybrid: in-person at the UCCHVAS Rehabilitation Center in Banjara Hills, Hyderabad, and online via pre-paid video sessions with global reach. The business model combines per-session subscription therapy, one-time packaged addiction programs, professional-services fees for corporate wellness, and training/traineeship revenue through the AHIER partnership.

Commercially, Hope Trust is a fully bootstrapped, founder-led services firm (Dr. Rajeshwari and Dr. Vidya Sagar as named clinicians) with no disclosed external funding, institutional investors, or M&A activity. Customer segments are primarily direct-to-consumer individuals and families, with a secondary corporate wellness segment served on-site in Hyderabad and a small training segment serving psychology students. The go-to-motion is content-led (blogs, social, webinars) feeding inbound booking requests, with strict pre-payment terms and a 50% refund window for cancellations more than 12 hours in advance.
