Yes we were part of the Start up Expo 3 and sharing the passion and the  experience with pictures.

It has been a totally amazing week for Make Happy Foundation. We were invited to attend the Start Up Expo 3 at Pragati Maidan in Delhi on 6th October 2018. I was in two minds to attend it as I felt participants there would be the total business geek kinds who have a perfect business plan , a flawless timeline of goals, a return on investment schedule and so on! I just did not feel that I fit in.

All I had was my passion and an idea I was totally convinced about. I just wanted to reach out to people and make them happier. The only thing I cared about was that I wanted to make people believe that they can be happy no matter what their circumstances. I truly believe happiness can be learnt and above all I like to see people smile.

After much yes and no yoyoing ,  finally, I did go and what happened there is truly worth sharing. I reached armed only with my Happiness Box, Business Cards and Brochures.

I saw others had got lot of fancy display devices, screens to run videos, promotion teams to mingle with crowd. Initially I felt odd but nonetheless set up my stall. Thankfully the organisers had announced my stall with a nice board.

I was beginning to really enjoy it. Investors came and I thought they would want to have a solid business strategy and plan but I was pleasantly surprised when a whole lot of them appreciated the passion. It was a lovely experience to interact and realise how much people like passion and a drive make others Happy! Once again my belief that ” if you follow your passion ,remain true to your dreams and intent , it shows and people respond to it”

Am sharing some more pictures and my idea and services.

 Proposal for Happiness Quotient (HQ) Workshops:

“Happiness can be learnt.”

Before I blow your mind with reasons to have Happiness workshops in your organisation, let me give you some facts.

Happiness today is one of the most elusive life goals. Despite having more facilities and access to better living conditions and a lifestyle better than ever before, the incidence of Happiness deficits are much higher.

But why should a company worry about this? This you feel is a personal issue! Right?

Sorry, but you are wrong.

Finding the perfect balance between fulfilment, comfort and pay is not an easy task. More and more studies are proving that a happy employee is the real asset and the focus has to move from working simply more hours to happier working environments. Organisations need to invest in making employees happier and more creative in order to grow their own business.

Unhappiness in employees leads to reduced efficiency, creativity, energies and productivity. In human beings happiness is a necessary state of mind to be able to effectively contribute.

Just a glimpse of how expensive unhappy employees can be for your organisation:

  1. Having stressed-out and depleted employees serve the public virtually guarantees alienated customers. This can have very serious effects on the bottom line. ……. a 5 percent reduction in customer defection translates into anywhere from a 30 percent to an 85 percent increase in corporate profitability – Employee Stress: The True Cost by David Lee
  2. Employees who claimed to be experiencing high stress levels, over half (57%) reported to be disengaged. – Tower Watson’s Global Benefits Attitudes survey, 2014
  1. The happiness treatments improve that productivity by approximately 10 – 12%. Happiness and Productivity – University of Warwick
  2. One-fourth of employees view their jobs as the number one stress factor in their lives. Whew!!! We need to change this! – Northwestern National Life
  3. Three-fourths of employees believe the worker has more on-the-job stress than a generation ago. – Princeton Survey Research Associates
  4. Problems at work are more strongly associated with health complaints than with any other life stressors – more than even financial / family problems. – St. Paul Fire and Marine Insurance Co
  5. Organizations with high employee engagement outperform those with low employee engagement by 202%. (Business2Community)
  6. 91% of managers say that their roles don’t allow them to be at their best – and 80% of all employees say their jobs don’t fully engage them.

This is serious!

At Google, we know that health, family and wellbeing are an important aspect of Googlers’ lives. We have also noticed that employees who are happy and healthy, as well as respected and rewarded for their contributions, demonstrate increased motivation and productivity.
