The Founders

Yogi as his friends affectionately call him has had over 35 years of diverse and leadership experience across India, UK and USA where he has worked, lived and excelled.

His last assignment was as part of leadership at Microsoft India He has several national and international awards and citations to his credit. He has chaired several national and international committees and organizations in honorary capacities.

He metamorphosed and meteversed as the Celebrated HAPPINESS SAVANT today.

Per a citation conferred upon him in 2022 at the British Parliament, House of Lords, UK, he has earned for himself the sobriquet,“Global Ambassador-Happiness”.

He serves the board at the (WHF) World Happiness Foundation, Miami, USA, where he is working on creating a blueprint on HAPPY CITIES for UN and on corporate happiness research with eminent global faculty across academia. WHF has created a unique framework on community happiness.

He has been a lateral thinker that he owes to his special ability as a self proclaimed dyslexic. He has a unique way of looking at people and things and brings forth a gifted and astute perspective.

He has set up a foundation titled: Your One Life Foundation and is fire starting and tokenizing happiness on an app titled: YOL YOL will morph into a blockchain that shall tokenise happiness in real value on an app. This can be used by any institution.

His work has been approved by the higher ed regulator www.aicte india.org in India to be introduced as a self study course dispensed on the app that can be acquired and owned by any institution in a customised form. That impacts over 7 mn students in india across over 10000 public and private higher ed institutes. He has spoken at UN conferences and his program is aligned with UN SDGs.

While most talks and chants on happiness are either spiritual or ritual or chants, Yogi’s is the the only objective, tangible and rational work in the world that makes “HAPPINESS” granular as it creates, calibrates, and celebrates happiness. His work is objective and game!

“Dope rules our lives, we do the same stuff and we ride a tiger by the tail with the same twins of boisterousness ‘fed’ in us at one hand and fear of falling off the tiger’s back and be seen ‘dead’ on the other. It is all vested in the mind. Minds have become Brittle, Anxious, Non-linear and incomprehensible. We mirror your mind that helps you exact your vision as you replace dope with YourOneLife” says Yogi.

UN has recognized his work on happiness. He is also the current honorary commissioner attaché to Greece in India. YOL aligns with SDG #3 and #17.

He lives in Dharamsala, plays golf and treks with the shepherds. He is an author and a poet.

"Climate action to address climate change must start with decarbonising the individual minds that are lost on the digital fog. I admire Yogi for what he has created. Its a unique model in the world that identifies an individual who is the:
LOWEST COMMON DENOMINATOR FOR UN SDGs.”

“Considering how upto 6 hours of screen time on phone of an individual slices and short-circuits our attention spans, YOL is awesome as it reclaims the mind from the digital mist”

“With Technology overtaking humanity especially through artificial generative intelligence that Elon Musk says will overtake human intelligence, a digital intervention such as YOL can be a formidable global shield that can keep our minds from being hijacked.”
