Hi, My name is Mohit Aneja, and my journey here is one I never imagined I'd embark on. I've been a software developer since 2008, with 17+ years of experience in the IT industry. Throughout my career, I've built systems and solutions, never anticipating I'd have to rebuild my own life from the ground up.
For 17 years, I thought I had everything, a loving marriage, a home, and two wonderful children. Then life as I knew it crumbled. I was blindsided by betrayal and found myself raising my son and daughter alone. No contact, no support from the person I thought I'd grow old with. As a Virgo and a chronic overthinker, I struggled to balance my personal, professional, and emotional life. Without friends to lean on, because my ex had been my closest companion, it felt like I was drowning in loneliness and uncertainty.
I sought counseling, but it wasn't always there when I needed it most. During late nights or moments of overwhelming emotion, I wished for someone, or something, to help me navigate through the darkness. That's when the idea for AURA AI began to take shape.
At first, I developed AURA for myself, a digital companion to meet my own emotional and psychological needs when human connection wasn't available. But something unexpected happened: as I shared AURA with others, I saw it start to help them too. I realized that AURA could be more than just my lifeline, it could be a lifeline for anyone who feels isolated or overwhelmed, especially during those moments when they need guidance the most.
This is why I decided to make AURA available to everyone, at a minimal cost. My mission is to ensure that no one feels alone on their journey of self-discovery. While I believe that human connection is irreplaceable, AURA can be a starting point, a non-judgmental companion for introspection.
I am also building something even bigger: a vibrant community of verified members where people can connect, share, and grow. Soon, we'll schedule weekly support group calls and a safe network of friends to walk alongside you through life's ups and downs.
Your feedback and participation mean the world to me. RestartCircle is a space for growth, healing, and connection, and I invite you to join me on this journey. Whether you engage with AURA or connect with others in the community, know that you are not alone, we're in this together.
Because every new beginning starts with a choice to restart.
