Prabhav Trust

What Prabhav Trust does

Prabhav Trust is a not-for-profit mental wellness organization registered under the Indian Trust Act, 1882 and affiliated with NITI Aayog, headquartered in Delhi, India, and founded in 2024. The organization serves children and youth in underserved schools, families, young adults, and women through a portfolio of Social Emotional Learning (SEL), community wellness, youth leadership, and affordable mental health programs. Its core products include SEED (a 10-12 session psychology-backed SEL program delivered in schools), DAAN (festival programs combining in-kind drives with emotional activities), REACH (internship program for students), PEOPLE OF PRABHAV (storytelling initiative), SAVOUR & SHARE (community wellness picnics), NOT JUST A PIECE OF CLOTH (women's menstrual health), and direct therapy and counseling services. The underlying technology is essentially non-existent as a product layer; the organization relies on human-delivered, volunteer- and intern-driven programs rather than software platforms, with the website built on Wix and standard social media channels used for outreach.

The business model is donations- and grants-based, with voluntary contributions from individuals, corporations, and organizations accepted via the website, supplemented by affordable or subsidized therapy fees and Corporate CSR partnerships. Go-to-market is community-led, leveraging a structured "Prabhavi" volunteer ecosystem requiring 9 hours of on-ground work, 3 hours of online meetings, and 6 hours of department-specific work monthly, plus a distribution partnership with Teach for India whose Fellows facilitate SEL delivery in partner schools. The leadership team comprises Co-Founders Prachi Soni and Bhavna Agarwal, supported by a CFO, HR, PR, website, and social media function, with an advisory board providing clinical and policy expertise. The organization cites a substantial addressable problem set, including that 70% of Indian school children report high stress and anxiety, less than 1% of India's national health budget is spent on mental health, and suicide is the leading cause of death among 15-29 year-olds in India.

Closely comparable on the subsidized-therapy and community-youth mental-health model, with larger institutional backing.
