Naveen Singhal is a 36-year-old software developer working with salesforce technology. He is a Senior Consultant at Birlasoft, Noida.
He comes from a town in Madhya Pradesh, Morena, closer to Gwalior. He used to live with his parents and brother there until he moved for his career. Naveen recollects that from his childhood, he was interested in computers and technology. This interest was also why he pursued computer science and engineering during his intermediary and undergraduate studies.
Naveen adds that his family members are by nature supportive of each other’s dreams and well-being. He says that they don’t refrain from sharing their opinions and care. Once Naveen settled down with a good job, he got married in 2016, and he currently resides in Noida with his wife and a 7-year-old son. His parents passed away towards the end of 2024.
When Naveen started working in Birlasoft in hybrid mode, things were going peacefully in life. However, he noticed some patterns in himself. He felt that when things didn’t go his way or people didn’t take his opinions, he didn’t like it and used to react aggressively. Naveen realised that it also caused him a lot of tension.
Naveen thought about the emails he regularly received from his company’s HR department regarding their tie-up with YourDOST for providing counseling and wellness programs. He went to the platform and explored his options.
Naveen elaborates that the portal’s navigation was easy, and he liked its functionality. He connected with Ms Sudipta Mitra and found her to be a calming presence.
“She was an excellent listener and understood my issues well. She asked the right questions to put my actions into perspective.”
Eventually, talking to the therapist and working on his thought process, Naveen explains that he became much calmer and completely stopped being aggressive. He started to consider others’ perspectives before responding.
Reaping the benefits of therapy, Naveen says that he suggested the YourDOST platform to his family as well so they could seek the help of experts whenever needed. Upon his suggestion, Naveen’s brother also wanted to seek therapy since he was facing issues in his personal life.
Since Naveen’s company allows him to nominate two of his dependents for the platform, he gave access to his brother, through whom he connected and took sessions from Ms Sudha.
As Naveen sought help and gave way for his brother to seek help as well, he expresses his gratitude to both the counselors for giving them a non-judgemental space and for listening to their worries.
“I feel that all the experts on the YourDOST platform are exceptional. They listen, make you feel comfortable and help you bring life changes.”
He rates himself 4.5 out of 5 and continues to improve himself towards a calm and productive life where Naveen and everyone are content and happy. We hope that he gets whenever he wants to be in his life.
