About me
Surabhi Agarwal is a healthcare entrepreneur and the Founder of LoveForLife Rehabilitation Services, a unit of Suhem Rehabilitation Services LLP. A public health management professional with over 15 years of experience, she leads one of India’s growing rehabilitation service networks providing home-based, school-based and digital therapy services across multiple cities.
LoveForLife delivers multidisciplinary interventions including Occupational Therapy, Speech & Language Therapy, Special Education, Psychological Counselling, Early Intervention, Shadow Teaching, Child Care and Geriatric care & Rehabilitation, for children with neurodevelopmental conditions, adults recovering from illness or injury, and elderly individuals requiring long-term functional support. The organisation works closely with families, schools and institutions to offer structured therapy plans, inclusive classroom support and long-term developmental guidance.
A key strength of LoveForLife lies in its nationwide network of over 1,500 trained rehabilitation professionals, supported through standardised training, digital monitoring platforms and community-based service delivery models. The organisation functions on a hybrid care model combining home-based therapy, school interventions and tele-rehabilitation, ensuring continuity of care even in underserved and semi-urban regions.
LoveForLife was awarded the prestigious Zero Project Award 2024 for its innovative approach to inclusive rehabilitation. Under her leadership, the organisation also launched a dedicated Shadow Teaching vertical in collaboration with mainstream schools, strengthening inclusive education ecosystems. She was also featured in the CII–PwD Compendium 2024 (2nd Edition) for her work in disability and inclusion innovation.
Currently, Surabhi is a visiting delegate under the German Federal Ministry and GIZ-supported Indo-German Business Partnership Programme, exploring international collaborations. LoveForLife is actively building a new global vertical to develop and deploy certified, language-trained allied healthcare professionals from India to Europe, helping address the continent’s growing rehabilitation workforce shortage, reduce patient waiting times, and support care needs driven by its rapidly ageing population.
Surabhi believes true success lies not in turnover figures, but in the real change created in people’s lives. Her work has also been recognised by the Women’s Economic Forum, Rotary Club and IHW Council. She remains committed to building systems where no disability is greater than the value of human life.
