After having felt a bit isolated because of remote working during the pandemic, this would be a good tool to use to boost spirits and help with making people feel more connected during times when it's difficult.

@maxine_buchert Couldn't agree more Maxine! Doing good for other eventually rebounds and gives you an authentic and unrivaled sense of self satisfaction. I hope you find this app to be useful in your day to day. Looking forward to more feedback in the future 🦾😊

Is there an incentive system? PS: never thought virtual volunteering could be a thing, this looks real nice ~
Vipul Agarwal
Hey Shivam! Thank you much for checking our app out. We don't currently have an incentive system for our users. However, there's something brewing in Goodera's kitchen that might see the light of day later this year. We envision doing good for society as something that can and should be bragged about. So we are evaluating approaches that would tokenize the act of doing good.

Hello, Product Hunt Family! New Year Greetings from Goodera. Wishing you all a year of prosperity, safe health, and goodness! ‘Powering the world of good’ is how we best describe ourselves and are driven by this motto for every effort we put into our work at Goodera. Fundamentally, Goodera believes that every human being has the ability to change someone’s life. At a time when the world was scrambling in the new virtual ecosphere, Goodera became the world’s largest platform for virtual volunteering experiences. We have, 🚀 Assisted over 50k non-profits in gaining access to volunteers virtually 🚀 Driven support to over 10 million beneficiaries, that include women, children who are disabled or hospitalized, children who are in need of digital learning resources and many more 🚀 Engaged over 200+ corporates and over 5 million employees with volunteering services virtually in a span of just two years! We realized that with the new normal of virtual workspaces, employee engagement and corporate social impact will also shift to the virtual space. While we have already succeeded in transcending volunteering into the virtual and hybrid model, we decided to create a tool that would enable every individual and team in the world to do good for somebody else. 🤔 Why? It became imperative and logical to bring this opportunity right into the hands of every employee and team in the world in the most convenient way possible. 🦾 What can you do with the Karma app? From taking a short quiz that makes one more deaf-aware to writing an uplifting message for a hospitalized kid, to sending thank you notes to front line healthcare workers, there are a variety of “micro” actions that we have curated with our nonprofit partners across 100+ countries. The host can choose from across focus areas such as mental health, racial equity, climate change, gender equity, amongst others. The entire 10-min action consists of 3 simple steps: ☑️ Step 1 (2 minutes) – Watch a video to understand the nonprofit and the cause ☑️ Step 2 (5 minutes) – Complete a simple action to support the cause (take a quiz, write a message, take a pledge, sign a petition, etc.) ☑️Step 3 (3 minutes) – Reflect with your team on the significance of this issue or share a personal story Here’s how it works: ✅ Step 1 - Install the app using this link - https://marketplace.zoom.us/apps... ✅ Step 2 - Launch Zoom on your phone/computer ✅ Step 3 - Start a Zoom meeting and then launch the Karma app ✅ Step 4 - Be the change you wish to see in the world :) We’d really appreciate your feedback, it would help us grow and improve. Me and the rest of Goodera are excited to share this with you and hope that you join us in doing good for those in need. 😊

Hmm...I agree with @ofir_rabanian , this just adds more time to the Zoom meeting surely? Two questions: Can the content delivery be shortened? 10 minutes out of a 30 min zoom meeting is too long. 2. Does this work with external Zoom meetings as well as internal? The only thing I can see this being useful for is a check-in replacement, but it would have to be a much shorter time to engage.
Abhishek Humbad
@nigelp Thank you for your feedback! We will surely innovate on content types to do shorter form activities as well. For now, we are not expecting teams to use this in every meeting, but once in a while to take a small action towards making this world a better place while engaging better with their team. And yes, this works with both internal and external meetings!
Ofir Rabanian
So basically instead of focusing on the meeting you're offering some interesting content to consume? :) I don't really get why it has to be inside Zoom..
Radhika Dhand
Thank you, @ofir_rabanian, for exploring the Karma app. Super excited to answer your queries and tell you more about it. Karma app is designed as an extension to meeting agendas. The idea is to elevate team engagement during calls with value addition of social impact through volunteering.
Deepti Gupta
A simple and fun way of integrating "doing good" in every meeting. Truly seems like the future of doing good. So proud of the Goodera team for making this happen!
Abhishek Humbad
@deepti_gupta2 Thank you for your never ending support! Onwards and upwards 📈
Radhika Dhand
Small actions lead to significant changes! The karma app on Zoom is an excellent way of engaging distributed teams to dedicate just 10 minutes of their time to doing good!
Radhika Dhand
Thank you, Kriti! Looking forward to your feedback
Sibasish Mohanty
Adds a flavour of goodness to otherwise boring and isolate remote meetings. Goos idea, neat implementation. Keep it up 👍
Abhishek Humbad

Great platform to bring your teams together and volunteer-virtually in 10 minutes. The Karma app makes volunteering more fun, engaging, and meaningful.
Ken Savage
Great idea. I’m getting burnt out for sure on all these web calls. Thank you.
Abhishek Humbad
@kensavage Thank you for your support Ken. We hope that our app will help you add another dimension to your web calls. 🚀
Utkarsh Rathore
I used this app casually in one of my meetings and have been in love with it since. Creating awareness about your favorite causes and doing good has never been easier. The best part is that it doesn't require more than 10 minutes of your time and you really enjoy meaningful conversation and connections with your meeting participants/co-workers.
Abhishek Humbad
@utkarsh_rathore Hey Utkarsh, that's exactly the point. We want to make this a mass movement and we are glad that you liked it! 😊
Keshav Jindal

I think this is going to change a lot of minds at our workplace. Thanks for introducing, I will definitely try this out with my team.
Abhishek Humbad
@pratham_kashyap Cheers! Please do share yours and your team's feedback with us.
Tim Anson
Amazing! Reducing the barriers that may stop organizations from taking on Volunteerism and CSR is more important than ever. It's great to see how companies can not have a focus on giving back, but can also invite their teams into the conversation to collaborate and participate.
Radhika Dhand
@tim_anson Absolutely, Tim! More than ever, there is a conscious need to give back to society. The Karma app allows you to collaborate with your team while leveraging existing team meeting channels.
Yatin Garg
This is a virtual volunteering revolution. Goodera definitely is a powerful and one-stop solution for all CSR and impact leaders!

ananta arora
We are the creators of our Karma! A wonderful way to transcend the use of technology to create positive actions.
Abhishek Humbad
@ananta_arora Well said Ananta! We need to be mindful of how each drop makes an ocean, similarly each good action we take helps make our world a little bit better. 🤔
Shristi Rani
Can doing good be any easier ? - on behalf of Chandler! What a great and interesting way to not only support causes and community but also learning and being aware about them! Simply amazing!
Radhika Dhand
