History
At the point when Richa Singh (founder), was studying at IIT Guwahati, one of her hostel mates committed suicide due to an anticipation of a bad placement. Neither Richa nor anyone around her had any clue of that girl’s suffering and that she could take such a drastic step. She felt this could have been avoided. Even though there were counsellors and experienced psychologists in the campus, hardly anyone was seeking their support/help.
When Richa started working, she saw that people around her were stressed due to job pressures and relationship issues. However again, most of these people were not willing to talk about their problems fearing social implications and for the fear of being called mentally ill.
She could see a real problem which needed to be solved, and she envisioned a system where people going through any kind of emotional worries can seek guidance and support. With that, YourDOST was founded.
