How Viranda Works
Viranda is a free self-expression app that connects two students in a confidential chat—one shares (a Ventor) and the other listens (a Vira). When the chat’s done, it’s wiped clean, like it never happened. And yeah, it’s totally anonymous, so no one ever knows who’s on the other side.
It’s a chill, no-pressure, non-crisis way to feel instant relief on campus. Got something on your mind? Viranda will match you with a Vira who’s ready to listen and lift you up. Want to switch it up? You can apply to be a Vira and empower your fellow students.
Going through a breakup?
Nervous before a test?
Feeling like no one gets you?
Just need to vent?
We get it…
That’s why we made Viranda—a safe space to express yourself and feel heard.
Note: Viranda is for everyday stuff, not the heavy crises. Our Vira friends aren’t therapists, so for serious challenges, we recommend reaching out to a mental health pro.

Who’s listening?
Meet the Vira friends.
“Vira” means “brave person” or “hero” in Sanskrit. At Viranda, we believe that a little bravery can break through isolation and spark real connections.
Viras aren’t therapists—they’re just like you, everyday students who excel at listening and empathy. They’re committed to following the Henosis code to ensure every conversation is safe, supportive, and non-judgmental, allowing you to share and feel understood without advice or judgments.
What’s in it for them?
Being a Vira is seriously rewarding. Not only do you get the satisfaction of helping others, but you’ll also sharpen your empathy, communication, and listening skills—perfect for psychology and social work students who want to supercharge these essential skills!

Similar lives, deeper bonds.
