Yes, my wife did a pre-natal program where the instructor gave solid tips on how to go through a safe pregnancy, yoga classes, which helped a lot, and a small community of all the mothers-to-be helping them to chat on everything related to the upcoming times and a lot more.
This was definitely her happy place and time to be, and we made good friends with whom we are in touch after ~6 years.

@Indiecrypto, I'd suggest talking to the gynaecologist or the nurses in the hospital. Our doctor suggested us. Also, you can find FB groups (wondering if there are any), and then there are some apps with communities where you can ask.

Wife and I went through an intensive program for our first-born. Was in a country outside India, and we were part of a homogenous group. While it did help with some practicalities, culturally, it was worse than useless. Rather, got the distinct feeling that there was a lot of Western hokum, targeted at making traditional Indian systems look bad or backward. It has been a while now, and life and a more accepting perspective have clouded the experience. When it happened, it felt OK. Not sure I would go for it now, without much more information.

@SociallyClueless If you choose to built an indian version of it, what would be the key differences ?

For starters, I would focus on Indian recipes. Curated list of traditional Indian recipes to cater to the nutritional, and emotional needs of the mother. Traditional Indian cooking has a host of such proven recipes. Mapping them to modern day nutritional and allergen information, would be a logical next step.
Allied to this would be effective and proven home remedies for common concerns like morning sickness, cough, cold, constipation etc. While several allopathic remedies exist, I believe that it is critical to be drug free during this important time and hence would tend towards natural or even ayurvedic solutions. This however is a personal opinion.
Beyond the physical, it is critical to cater to the emotional and mental well being of the expectant mother. Meditation, yoga and other such aspects, mapped to the specific trimesters , would be the next component I would include. Again, I would not limit this to mere asanas, but would try to compile or curate a holistic well being regimen.
I'm still debating the need to include cultural aspects. In all parts of India, various traditions exist for the celebration and well being of the expectant mother. Unfortunately we have list out on the scientific basis for many of these traditions and merely follow them from a superstitious/religious angle today. If those with more knowledge about this could chip in, I may want to include some of these aspects.
Finally, a directory of service providers (medical and otherwise) relevant to the care and aid of pregnant women.
Apart from this existing apps cover pretty much everything else in a comprehensive manner.

Hospitals do offer this.. our younger girl was born in Apollo and the gynec and paed had us through classes although we did have a high risk pregnancy and a normal birth was ruled out from the moment we knew we were having a baby...
