Despite the obvious odds, 29-year-old Kaushall Prakash from Mumbai recently launched an app with the controversial name ‘Rent A Boy Friend’ (RABF). Prakash claims his app is meant to help people with mental health issues cope with depression and loneliness.

According to the young entrepreneur, there is nothing seedy or romantic about the service, despite its borderline presumptuous name.
“All we are providing is a friend, a companion. On a paid, hourly basis. It is like any other service where clients pay in return or receiving a service. Only, in this case, the service is companionship and the objective is to help cure depression,” Praskash told News18

The list of services provided by the boyfriend are flexible and are mainly decided by them.
They can include meeting the parents, having dinners with them, watching films, kissing and spending the night.
Some men require the women to pay for all the expenses, including the train tickets and meals.
Many Chinese single men see this as a chance to earn quick money and rent themselves out to the desperate women.
Some male candidates offer free service as they say to have no one to spend the holidays with anyway.
