From 8 Towards ♾️

Our mission towards making mental health accessible to all has helped us climb some strenuous mountains, and here are a few pinnacles we've conquered:

One Year at a Time
2015
After losing her friend to suicide during her undergrad days, Richa Singh (CEO and Cofounder - YD) decided to create an organization that would be YourDOST, through thick and thin! If Richa were the ignition needed to start our vehicle, Puneet (COO and Cofounder- YD) acted as the perfect wheels toward the journey. Was this journey a roller coaster or a smooth ride? Let's find out!
‍
Fun Fact: YourDOST started as a project in 2011, which was later registered as a company in July 2015. Our first logo was inspired by F.R.I.E.N.D.S!

"We always believed doing good and doing business can happen together"

- Richa Singh, Co-founder and CEO

2016
Our first year were a first for a lot of things.
‍
Just 1 year into motion, we were awarded Red Herring Global's top 100 companies - one of our first big recognition. We raised our first post-seed funding round, official office setup, and a lot more. Engaging with more than 3K DAU and 1K daily sessions affirmed the significance of our mission and inspired us to forge ahead.

Did we yet introduce you to our CFO? Maybe you should find that out for yourself....this will bring a smile to your face!

2017
10 Lakh+ people already touched, and Our Founders were recognised among Forbes India and Forbes Asia 30 Under 30!
‍
We also doubled our daily number of counseling sessions but there was a long way ahead. Our journey was like driving on a highway so far, but what awaited us next was the narrow hilltop road. Demonetization cost many people their jobs, and with cost-cutting being the major focus of companies, organizations started backing out of the collaborations to support their employees with mental health.

They said all we would last for is 18 months and then we are here celebrating our 8 years of togetherness.

2018
This is what's important about friendships, they are there for you no matter what! We launched 'Fired2FiredUp campaign' and introduced a toll-free number to be there for all those who were laid off to help them.

We contacted several staffing and talent acquisition companies to help the people. We made the job hunt and a fresh start easier for everyone. This was also the time for us to get started on doing pilots for revenue generation. As the saying goes, good things happen to those who do good....was this our case too?
2019
We turned profitable, by getting 100+ corporate and college clients onboard! But being the best in our segment wasn't enough for us, we wanted to go above and beyond!
‍
We introduced professional counseling services 24×7 tailormade for employees and students, and accessible through the YourDOST app. We also started helping people without counseling support and being there for everyone throughout their holistic development. Have you heard of calm before the storm? We were about to witness that...
Let yourDOST help your organization
2020
YourDOST became the Winner of the 'Mental Health Brand' in the Gold Category at #IHWAwards!

In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, the set of challenges were all new and different. Loss of jobs, being stuck outside home states, cancelled internships abroad, and feeling alone, to name a few. No matter how hard the battle, we were here to not just fight but win.

What was the reason for our confidence? Our family of more than 900 experts consisting of Psychologists, Psychotherapists, Counsellors, Life Coaches, and Career Coaches and 25 Lakhs+ people who had already trusted us as their DOST.

Something amazing was waiting for us just around the corner...

2021
We bagged the BW Wellbeing 40 under 40 award! Our policy recommendations on Mental Health got selected by the govt. to be presented to our honourable Prime Minister Narendra Modi Ji. What made us different from others? Other than the counseling support we also focused on self-help programmes that promoted self-care through mindfulness techniques, self-help models, and self-reflective tools to develop resilience.

Each year we made it bigger than the previous, we crossed 200+ corporate clients! So what was waiting for us next?
2022

“Every day feels like Day 1 as we continue our mission, fueled by the passion to make a lasting impact on the lives we touch."

Puneet Manuja, Co-founder and COO 

PM Modi announced National Startup Day in 2021, and yes! we grabbed it this year! receiving it from Mr Piyush Goyal was nothing less than a dream come true. Now the question was where does all this stop? Probably never...our investors, clients, employees and others have done a lot for us, we have to keep going for them...
