Ataloud Cares!

Never in history has society been more aware of mental health issues. Being in a culture defined by social media has resulted in an entire generation drawing their identity, worth & satisfaction through a screen. As a result, we live in a world where depression, anxiety, addiction, grief, trauma, abuse, self-image issues are rampant.?

We've seen a rapid increase in cases of anxiety & depression in India over the last few years. Accordingly to WHO, roughly, about 56 million Indians suffer from depression, and 38 million suffer from some form of anxiety disorder. UNICEF reports a vast majority of these individuals are between the ages of 15 - 24 years old.

The COVID19 lockdown brought about a new model of work - remote/ WFH. Remote work has changed the game. Companies are now hiring talent across the country & the world!

At Ataloud Technologies, we've taken a remote-first approach, and its paid off. We've been able to find talent across the breadth of India & provide opportunities for people working out of remote locations. Employees are saving time, money & energy usually spent on travel, which is resulting in productivity.

While remote work has its benefits, it certainly has its downside. Top of that list is, the lack of interpersonal human interaction. There's absolutely no substitute for meeting in person, collaborating together & building relationships with your colleagues, at office.

One of our core values at Ataloud is: JOY. We desire that our employees not only find joy in their work, but are happy as individuals; as families. Being indoors, behind a screen, in isolation, certainly doesn't help individuals with mental health issues & we no longer want to turn a blind eye to this.
