The Changemaker Membership is for Indian citizens, NRIs, and families who have faced serious injustice and want to fight not just for themselves but also for others. It is ideal for victims, social entrepreneurs, leaders, startups, aligned organizations, and anyone ready to build cause-based clusters, challenge unfair systems, and create real social and policy impact. 

The Changemaker membership supports serious and extreme issues—including high-value matrimonial and commercial disputes excluded from other categories. It’s built for mentors, referrers, entrepreneurs, and active citizens who help individuals and families resolve both high-stakes and everyday matters. Members lead cause-driven clusters, guide leaders, launch bold initiatives, and influence reform. Benefits include false case defense, complex matrimonial aid, family support (2+2+2 model), and strategic guidance for startups. Members commit to onboarding 2 monthly or 3–5 quarterly, becoming visible forces for justice and systemic change.
