About jhappi

Say Yes to Convenience & Collective force . No to Sympathy !

We have seen changemakers making compassion appeals to sell products made by their beneficiaries. They are constantly looking for new buyers as compassion brings 1 time sale. Adopting modern retail practices of giving the buyer convenience of place, luxury of choices and assortment of unique and contemporary products will lead to a sustainable buying and spreading the word. The most powerful weapon is the collective force of multiple NGOs.

Aim

- Redefining Sales for Not for Profit Products - Bringing quality products to customers and increased incomes to the makers - Become India's most trusted brand marketing NGO products

Say Yes to Sustainability and NO to exploitation!

We have seen massive funds being spent on skilling unemployable people so that they generate incomes for themselves and become self reliant. We are also witness to changemakers perfecting products and creating a go to market plans but having sporadic sales. Non continuity of orders lead to the same skilled force becoming victims of exploitative working conditions or going back as dependents with no self esteem. jhappi aims to bring sustainability and self reliance.
