Founder of Happiness Route Foundation

Yogeetha Patel - Founder of Happiness Route Foundation and Project lead at Thinkbridge Software Solutions.

I always wanted to do something on mental health segment as I myself went through a lot of loneliness and depression, I read a lot about it and tried multiple things to get rid of suicidal thoughts but nothing worked until I seek for help.This can happen to anyone and it a need of an hour to create awareness about it. I was always thinking and exploring on how to solve this problem, brainstorm on a lot of things and finally could find something aligning to my goal.

In addition to this, having wide range of experience in finance domain, with lot of dedication on building portfolio with diverse asset classes, I could gradually create some wealth which could help me plan my finances strategically. I helped my peers and family with my knowledge and could reap good results. This somehow gave me motivation to help many people out there who need to know the crucial aspect of creating wealth.

Finance and Mental health being completely different subjects, I brainstormed a lot on how can I start something where I could address both the domains simultaneously.
Happiness Route Foundation happened as a result of lot of thinking and creating something for welfare of society.

While I started my career 10 years ago in IT sector, I always wanted to make a lot of money, worked hard to earn and create living for myself, I always thought money would give me satisfaction and give me comfort, Today I make sufficient for myself but there is always a void, With this burning desire to give back to society. Happiness Route Foundation was inspected aligning to this thought.

As part of happiness route foundation, I and my team are aiming towards working on three major sectors
1. Mental health awareness
2. Financial literacy
3. Women empowerment

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

"The eChai platform has been super valuable for me - it has helped me gain a deeper understanding of domains in the startup and tech ecosystem. What stands out most is the celebration of knowledge, professional growth, and entrepreneurship - it’s one of the best for the Indian ecosystem. Along the way, I’ve also been fortunate to make some great friendships and connections too."

“When we launched LegalWiz.in back in 2016, concept of procuring legal and compliance services through a digital commerce platform wasn't as prominent in India. eChai played a significant role in providing the early adopters, and building significant positioning in the startup fraternity. Overtime, eChai grew to be a massive network of like-minded entrepreneurs and extended that benefit to all the members in a true "co-rise" spirit. I personally love to attend eChai events, learn from subject matter experts who share relatable and actionable insights and experiences. For startup journeys, it is so important to be surrounded by people who can add relevance, perspective, and push you to do better. Most importantly a group of people where you aren't being judged about things going right or wrong, but be a motivational force that keeps you going, yet keeping you in check. eChai is that place for me!”

"For me, eChai is a second home. I've been associated with it since the early days, when it was already setting a different tone for how startup communities could work. As a traditional business owner entering the new-age D2C space, eChai supported me in every direction. Over the years, it became my window to the startup world — and also gave me lifelong friends who continue to show up, for business and beyond."
