Prabhu started his career in 1992 as a personal assistant to a senior Shiv Sena leader and MP, Gajanan Kirtikar, until 1997.[5] It was on Kirtikar's insistence that he had gotten a chance to fight the civic elections from Aarey Colony in 1997. Subsequently, he went on to win three civic elections.[6] However, Prabhu has been voted as the best orator in the civic house on several occasions. He is known for his powerful speeches, especially on financial issues. He was the leader of the house in BMC for six years.[7][8]
