About
Rooted in community
Chhanv is an initiative of Under The Tree. We help people find trusted professional support, and we create respectful opportunities for professionals.
Why Chhanv
Most people do not simply need “a CA,” “a lawyer,” or “a developer.” They need someone reliable for a specific, often important situation — an income-tax notice, a property dispute, a first website for a small business, or a specialist for a parent. Search results and directories rarely help with that. A trusted reference does.
Chhanv is that trusted reference. We listen to the need, understand the context, and suggest a professional from our network or wider community. The person and the professional then speak directly, decide freely, and agree fees between themselves. Although Chhanv is rooted in Noida, its network reaches across India and abroad, and many introductions lead to consultations by phone or video.
Chhanv (छाँव) means shade — the shelter a tree gives to whoever stands beneath it.
Under The Tree
Under The Tree (Pedon Ki Chhanv Mein Foundation) is a Section 8 not-for-profit company that works in Noida on sustainability through education, nutrition, and skill enhancement. Chhanv extends that mission: it helps community members find trusted professional support, and it gives professionals a way to contribute to social impact if they wish to.

What Chhanv is — and is not
Chhanv is
- A trusted referral and introduction network
- A community trust layer between people and professionals
- A fair exchange: professionals are paid directly by clients
- A social initiative that may receive voluntary, unrestricted donations
Chhanv is not
- A charity or free-service platform
- A lead-selling business or a listing site
- A booking, payment or invoicing platform
- A provider of legal, tax, medical, financial, design or technology services
- A home-repair, household or personal-care service
How Chhanv is supported
Chhanv does not charge people for referrals and does not take any commission from professionals. Professionals and supporters may make voluntary, unrestricted contributions to Under The Tree. Such contributions are never a condition of a referral and never influence who is referred.
