The Festival Of Joy
The Festival of Joy 2026 | Designing a Conscious & Caring India
Despite all the progress we celebrate today, one challenge continues to grow quietly around us—stress, burnout, loneliness, and emotional fatigue.
The Festival of Joy is India's leading leadership festival dedicated to emotional wellbeing, bringing together visionary leaders, educators, policymakers, entrepreneurs, artists, researchers, and changemakers to reimagine how we live, lead, learn, and build.
Hosted by the YourDOST Foundation, the Festival is more than an event, it's a movement to place care and wellbeing at the heart of India's growth story.
Join us for a day of inspiring conversations, immersive experiences, meaningful connections, and bold ideas designed to help build a more conscious and caring India.
