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

We are building a supportive system through which we are creating tech enabled products. Support us and be part of this journey. We have lots to do and we would definitely need your support and skills to make world a better place to live and create resilient communities.
