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

"eChai isn’t just a startup community … it’s a mindset . eChai has been one of the most impactful communities in my entrepreneurial journey. It’s been a turning point . In a world where building something can often feel isolating, eChai gave me a sense of belonging. I’ve found mentors, collaborators, and friends here — people who genuinely want to see you succeed. It’s a space where ideas are challenged, actions are celebrated, and founders grow not just in scale, but in clarity and confidence. From late-night ideas to early-morning pitches, this community has quietly but powerfully shaped the way I build, think, and dream. I’ll always be grateful for the way eChai creates spaces where founders don’t just grow businesses — they grow together."

"I attended my first eChai event 3 yrs back, and no one knew me in the market. Over the next three years, eChai didn’t only help me with knowledge or networking, but it gave me an identity from being unknown to now being recognized by a group of inspirational entrepreneurs connected with eChai, who have been gracious enough to acknowledge me and Digipple."
