At Happiest Minds, each business landmark is called a 'Smilestone', resonating with the company theme of happiness. Each Smilestone is commemorated with acts of giving.

Happiest Minds has been able to achieve the million meals mark with this Smilestone (7th anniversary celebration) contribution and has now set a goal towards contributing an additional million meals by IPO launch in FY'23.

Dr. Sharon Andrew-Rajkumar, Director & Happiness Evangelist of Happiest Minds, said, "Our 7th anniversary Smilestone is a good time to reflect on our journey and be proud of what we have created - our technologies and our culture.
