Psychology undergraduate from Taylor’s University Janak Ashok Teckwani, 22, felt that he and his friends were not getting enough interaction during the pandemic, so he started a platform called TimeToTalk where they could interact online.
“I felt that everyone needed a ‘distraction’ from all the negativity during the pandemic, and we weren’t getting the interaction we needed during the MCOs,” he says.
