THE HEART BEHIND YBF

Avikaa

Founder & CEO · YBF Your Best Friend

"I didn’t build YBF despite my pain.
I built it because of it."

For most of her life, Avikaa felt like she didn’t quite belong anywhere. As a deeply sensitive person, she would quietly withdraw - from rooms, from relationships, from circles where she felt the wrong energy, the wrong values, the wrong version of herself being expected. She didn’t know then that this wasn’t weakness. It was discernment.

She grew up surrounded by the kind of world that rewards conformity and punishes sensitivity - where manners were weaponised, where ethical boundaries were blurred, where abuse was normalised so thoroughly that she began to believe it.That everyone goes through this. That this is just how people feel.

She suffered Mentally, Physically, Emotionally, Psychologically all alone without having proper support system and guidance in place. Her voice was suppressed. Her instincts were doubted. The guidance she desperately needed - a clear roadmap, a mentor, someone who simply celebrated her was nowhere to be found.

THE REALISATION

"I was wrong. Abuse is not the price of growth.
Isolation was - but only because I hadn’t yet found my people."

The pain didn’t disappear. But it found a purpose. She began to understand that everything she had been searching for - the guidance, the safety, the community, the clarity was not a luxury. It is a basic right and need.

So she built it.

YBF - Your Best Friend is the platform Avikaa wished had existed when she needed it most. Not just a networking community. A structured ecosystem where guidance, mentorship, leadership, career growth, and wellness live under one roof.

I spent countless years,since childhood,desperately searching for answers to my profound questions  

People who have no support or have toxic backrounds what options do they have to find safety & support? 
What is the value of proving your point to those who may quickly turn against you over one bad decision of yours or misstep? 
What if those devoted to family, relationships, or work still face disrespect and abuse? 
If I choose to stand apart from societal norms ,how can I connect with like minded individuals who share my vision & drive? 
How can I embrace my unique approach to socializing without feeling the need to conform to traditional norms? 
Does the level of respect & likes  we receive on social media reflect our character & reliability as genuine individuals ? 

YBF wasn't built in a boardroom.
It was built from rock bottom.

Avikaa didn’t set out to build a platform. She set out to find the support system she never had - and when she couldn’t find it, she built it herself.

Coming from a conservative family in Punjab, navigating divorce, building a business alone in Mumbai without mentors, without a map, and without anyone who truly understood what she was going through - Avikaa learned early what it costs to build without community and support.

She spent years asking a question that wouldn’t let her go:
Why is it so hard for people to find real support when they need it most?

The answer became YBF - Your Best Friend. Not just a networking platform, but a community built on the foundation she wished had existed for her: honest, accessible, judgment-free, and genuinely invested in every member’s growth.

Today, YBF is a thriving community of 2,000+ founders, entrepreneurs, and professionals across India - connected through weekly events, mentorship, offline meetups, and a shared belief that none of us should have to figure this out alone.
