Recognizing that many of the children were experiencing significant stress and trauma, she believed that focusing on their wellbeing was critical to supporting them inside and outside of the classroom. As an alumna, Richa co-founded Labhya, and co-created well-being programs that impact over two million students in 22,000 schools across three states in India.
