Happiness comes from giving, not getting. If we try to bring happiness to others, we cannot stop it from coming to us also. To get joy, we must give it, and to keep joy, we must scatter it. - John Templeton
Social Responsibility is a core value of Happiest Minds. It is also one of our vision statements where we have set out to "be a leader in integrating social responsibility initiatives with core business operations".
Our CSR initiative, called the CIRCLE OF HAPPINESS:

- 2. Celebrates our important milestones with acts of giving.
- 3. Executes a process for leveraging our capabilities and contribute to socially relevant causes. and builds a social engagement program that enables us to engage with clients & partners and make a difference to society and the environment.
A core team anchors this program, defines its charter at a granular level, interfaces with social organizations and coordinates volunteer activities.
