Montfort Care Early Intervention Centre

What Montfort Care Early Intervention Centre does

Montfort Care Early Intervention Centre is a Mumbai-based non-profit founded in 2018 by Ranjith Moovarasu SG that delivers early-intervention services for hearing-impaired children aged 0–6 years. The centre operates from the campus of Stephen High School for the Deaf in Dadar, Mumbai, and is staffed by a multidisciplinary clinical team of approximately 14 professionals including audiologists, speech-language pathologists, auditory verbal (AV) therapists, special educators, psychologists, and social workers. Its service stack covers audiological assessment, Auditory Verbal Therapy, hearing-aid evaluation and fitting, and parent/caregiver counselling, delivered both at the centre and through community outreach.

The organization pairs in-person clinical delivery with a free mobile application called AVT CARE, which extends therapy content and parent-engagement resources to families beyond the physical centre. Service delivery is supplemented by 200+ community awareness and screening camps — conducted at a current cadence of 4–5 per week in partnership with hospitals — through which the centre has cumulatively screened 7,000+ children, enrolled 500+ in therapy, and fitted 800+ hearing aids. The centre also partners with government hospitals for free newborn and pediatric hearing screening, positioning itself as a community-facing referral node rather than a standalone clinic.

The business model is a subsidized charity model: therapy, screening, and hearing-aid services are offered free or at highly subsidized rates to underprivileged families, and operating capital is raised from corporate CSR partners. Named funders include SBI Life, Tech Mahindra Foundation, and Federal Bank. There is no commercialized revenue line; financial sustainability rests entirely on grant cadence, donor retention, and the operating leverage provided by the AVT CARE digital channel. The organization's growth to date has been programmatic and grant-driven rather than commercial, with no disclosed revenue, fundraising totals, or audited financials in the input data.

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Signia (WS Audiology) India: Hearing-aid brand from WS Audiology operating in India, providing devices plus partner-clinic audiology services. Comparable because it pursues the same pediatric and adult hearing-aid customer base through clinical-channel distribution in India.
• Ali Yavar Jung National Institute of Speech and Hearing Disabilities (AYJNISHD): Government of India apex institute for speech and hearing disabilities offering diagnostic, therapeutic, and rehabilitative services nationwide. Comparable because it provides audiology, speech therapy, and hearing-aid services for children, but operates at much larger scale and as a public-sector institution.
• Amplifon India: Indian arm of Amplifon, the global hearing-care retail and audiology services company. Comparable because it provides audiology assessments, hearing aids, and after-care across urban India for the same customer segment.

Direct peers

Comparable because it runs a similar multidisciplinary early-intervention model targeting young children and families.

• Ummeed Child Development Center: Mumbai-based non-profit providing multidisciplinary early intervention for children with developmental disabilities. Comparable because it targets the same 0–6 age band, integrates therapy and family support, and competes for the same donor and parent mindshare in Mumbai.
