Writing since 1987, Prabhat has covered a plethora of subjects and has served as a chief-editor for Parikalpana Samaya, a Monthly Magazine.

As the world changes, the modes of communication change. As a result, the platform to reach millions change too. Prabhat is well versed with the latter and has stayed relevant by employing digital media for his writing. His blogging career in Hindi started in 2007; he writes and reviews and is even a founding member of the Parikalpana Award, which celebrates literary blog writers.

Ravindra Prabhat is revered by many, and his collection of praise comes in the form of honours and awards such as the Sahitya Sri Award and the Shrijan Sri Award.
