Cultivating Hope, Happiness and Wellbeing

Namaste India! I'm Richa Singh, co-founder & CEO of YourDOST, and we’ve been on a journey to make the world a happier place — a mission that has touched 30 lakh lives, saved over 12,000 individuals and elevated employee wellbeing across 500+ organisations.

But with India ranking the lowest on global happiness indices, we're not just losing ₹1.1 trillion annually to productivity, but also the vibrant potential of our nation's workforce and youth. These stories break my heart and I want communities, corporates and campuses to realise that wellbeing isn't just a checkbox; it's fundamental to our nation's progress.

This is why we launched the inaugural edition of The Festival of Joy on February 8, 2025, at SAP Labs Bangalore to make wellbeing an everyday conversation.

We were joined by global experts, corporate leaders, academicians, and changemakers united to transform how our nation approaches this multifaceted dimension.

Together, let's create a joyful India where wellbeing shapes our collective success.
