“Nobody expected a leaderboard to bring people closer. It did.”
AIKYATO began as a walkathon at our workplace: a simple leaderboard, a virtual road, and a reason to get up from the desk. We were expecting step counts.
People who had only ever nodded in the corridor started cheering each other on. When someone's birthday came round, the whole group turned up to wish them. A thank-you said where everyone could see it meant more than one said in private.
The steps were never the point. Belonging was.
Our families, friends and old batches already had places to talk, but those places were built for a billion people. Ads between your friends' photos. Brands in your messages. Your phone number in strangers' contacts. Anyone able to look you up. None of that is what a group of people who know each other needs.
We kept the walking, the wishes and the thank-yous, and rebuilt everything around one promise: your group is yours. We named it AIKYATO, from the Sanskrit aikya, oneness: ऐक्य-तो, towards oneness. Then we opened it to every kind of group.
The AIKYATO team, Aikyato LLP. If it brings your people a little closer, it is doing its job.
