Through her campaign we are raising funds to support the staff at The Banyan Foundation and amplify the conversation regarding mental health. According to the World Health Organization, over 8 crore Indians suffer from depression and anxiety related disorders, but only a small amount of them even seek help. A large part of this is because of the huge stigma and judgement attached to people with any kind of mental illness. Prajakta has been a vocal advocate who doesn’t shy away from speaking about mental health, and we are extremely proud to use our platform to add to the conversation and help raise funds for an organization that has relentlessly been working to help people battle their mental health issues. Prajakta is delightfully charming and I am certain that the fan who wins this experience will have the best time with her”.
