Mumbai, India : In an era where networking is often reduced to transactional exchanges, YBF – Your Best Friend, a fast-growing business and networking platform, is redefining how professionals and entrepreneurs connect—by placing experience, energy, and belonging at the centre of business growth.
Founded by Avikaa, YBF is the outcome of a seven-year vision shaped by lived experience—a journey marked by the absence of timely mentorship, the lack of the right professional ecosystem, and the cost of misaligned networks. What began as personal insight has now evolved into a scalable community-driven platform for founders, leaders, and growth-minded professionals.
A Strong Market Response to a Clear Vision
YBF recently hosted its first offline flagship experience on 31st January, from 4 PM to 9 PM, at Novotel Hotel, Juhu, Mumbai. The beachside, poolside business sundowner brought together 120+ startup founders, business leaders, and professionals for a curated evening of intentional networking.
Unlike conventional forums, the event focused on structured introductions, interactive networking games, experiential conversations, premium hospitality, and high-energy engagement. The response was immediate and overwhelming—attendees extended conversations well beyond schedule, and post-event engagement flooded digital channels with appreciation for the platform’s differentiated approach.
Industry observers note that YBF’s early traction reflects a broader market shift: professionals are increasingly seeking quality over quantity, depth over visibility, and ecosystems over events.
Why YBF Is Gaining Momentum
YBF operates on a distinct philosophy:
When experience and energy are aligned, meaningful business outcomes follow naturally.
Key differentiators include:
- Curated, premium offline networking experiences
- A growing digital community of 2,000+ professionals and entrepreneurs
- Strong presence across LinkedIn, Instagram, and Facebook
- A focus on long-term collaboration rather than short-term transactions
This clarity of intent has positioned YBF as a platform people are not being “sold into,” but rather actively seeking to be part of.
Membership as a Growth Ecosystem
Alongside its flagship event, YBF launched its membership model, designed to help professionals build visibility, credibility, and community.
Members gain access to:
- Listing events, services, offers, and deals on the YBF website
- Exposure to a platform with 13,000 daily users
- Collaboration with fellow high-intent members
- Opportunities to host workshops and knowledge sessions
- Brand amplification across LinkedIn and digital channels, increasing market recall
The model creates a mutually reinforcing ecosystem—members grow their brands while strengthening the YBF community.
Technology, Wellness, and Global Expansion
YBF is preparing to launch a Business Networking Mobile Application in the coming months, enabling seamless connections beyond physical events.
What further distinguishes the platform is its roadmap to integrate wellness and spirituality with professional networking. The underlying belief is that once economic stability is addressed, individuals are better positioned to pursue alignment, healing, and higher-purpose leadership.
With plans to expand across India and globally, YBF is now inviting thought leaders, collaborators, and ecosystem builders to join the journey. While Avikaa remains the visionary force behind the platform, YBF’s next phase is intentionally designed as a collective movement rather than a solo-founder narrative.
A Platform Whose Time Has Come
YBF – Your Best Friend is not positioned as an experiment, but as a response to an unmet global need: authentic professional communities that combine ambition with alignment.
The intent is clear.
The vision is validated.
The market is responding.
As momentum builds, YBF stands poised to become a new category of business networking—one defined by experience, energy, and meaningful growth.
