Hi, I am Aadhyaa, your first friend substitute here. Born and raised in New Delhi, India, I moved to Dubai for my undergrad in 2014. Away from family and friends, there were days when I was beyond homesick and just needed people to talk to, which wasn't always possible due to my and other people's schedules.

I was privileged to be surrounded by supportive friends in Delhi, Dubai and beyond who made it work, but I realized during pandemic that it wasn't the case for everyone. This was when I came up with this idea. So, here I am, to help you during those lonely hours when you need a shoulder to cry on or a friend to pull you up.

I can't wait to meet you all!

Hey there! I'm your second friend substitute Bhavya Anand. I too was born and raised in Delhi, and eventually moved to Canada to pursue my Masters in 2019. Prior to that there had been instances where I had had a taste of loneliess, I believe everyone does by their 20s. But moving to a new country surrounded by new people brought along a whole new meaning to it.

That was when I really felt it in my bones, how hard it is to manage a life staying thousands of miles away from loved ones and how incredibly isolated one feels at times. Once I heard this idea, I knew I had to jump in and help as many people as I could. I am very excited for this venture, hope to make a difference!
