Ms Pallavi Kumar is the Executive Director of MOHAN Foundation, a National NGO that has been working for 27 years to promote deceased organ donation and transplantation in the country. She was instrumental in setting up the NCR office of MOHAN Foundation in 2011. She has subsequently provided support to start the Rajasthan, Manipur and Uttrakhand office of the Foundation.

Pallavi’ skills lie in working closely with hospitals (both government and private) to help them put systems in place promote deceased organ donation. She has been closely and passionately involved in the unenviable task of speaking to families in their time of grief and loss, encouraging them to consider organ donation to save other lives. She is one of the main trainers of the Foundation and has been part of capacity building programs across the country. Her key training areas include grief counselling and making the ‘Ask’ for organ donation, role of transplant coordinators and helping start deceased donation programs in hospitals.

Pallavi has scaled Everest Base Camp (17600 feet) in 2018 & Mount Kilimanjaro (19,341 feet) in 2019 as her tribute to organ donor and their families.
