🎙️ S1 Ep7 | From a WhatsApp Group to 20,000 Lives Impacted - The Story Behind CPHD

From an informal WhatsApp group during COVID to a 500+ volunteer nonprofit that has reached over 20,000 people across 54 districts — this is the story of Divya Indra Chatterjee, Founder of CPHD (COVID Patient Help Desk). In this episode of Thriving Communities Podcast, Divya opens up about her journey — from being a chartered accountant in Bhopal, to becoming a Doordarshan anchor and Miss Madhya Pradesh runner-up, to co-founding CPHD with a group of strangers united by one goal: helping people find medicines, oxygen, and hospital beds during the darkest days of COVID. We talk about: 🔹 How a personal crisis turned into a movement that helped 20,000+ people 🔹 Why CPHD evolved from emergency response into education and healthcare awareness 🔹 Her meeting with Narayana Murthy and Sudha Murthy, and what she learned about leading by example 🔹 What the Golden Temple's langar taught her about true community 🔹 Her definition of a "thriving community" — ownership and accountability 🔹 Her message to young girls exploring career paths and entrepreneurship At Thriving Communities, we spotlight the people and brands building real belonging — and Divya's story is a masterclass in how a community forms when people simply choose to show up for each other. 🔗 Learn more about building your own community with Thrico: https://thrico.com/ #ThrivingCommunities #CPHD #DivyaIndraChatterjee #CommunityBuilding #SocialImpact #Thrico #NGO #WomenLeadership #COVIDHeroes #PodcastIndia --- Follow Thrico: LinkedIn:   / thrico   Instagram:   / thrico.official   Facebook:   / thrico.official
