HappyPlus Consulting gets angel funding from Dubai-based investor

Kolkata: HappyPlus Consulting, an AI-ML-enabled HR firm that measures the happiness index for India Inc. companies, has secured an undisclosed amount of angel investment from a Dubai-based high net-worth investor.

The company will channelise the funding into its technology and expansion plans.

Founded by Dr Ashish Ambasta on the theory of building employer-employee relationships to achieve organisational happiness, the six-months-old startup provides its services to firms such as Tata Steel LP division, TM International (Logistics), Mahanagar Gas Ltd. (MGL) and a leading private health insurance company, among others.


The tech-enabled HR firm is currently in talks with investors for another round of investments which Ambasta said should get closed in a few months from now. Meanwhile, the company is building a strong team of senior professionals to develop and provide tools, techniques and solutions for creating happy habits for individuals in the organisation.

HappyPlus brings the concept and importance of ‘Happiness Habit Development’ through scientifically designed tracks and ‘One-Touch’ technology solutions. Its ‘WOW Life’ solution is a science-backed framework, which raises the level of consciousness, connection, and competence at the employee and employer levels.

"Our company is supported by science and an expert community of psychologists, counsellors and analysts who help address mental well-being through qualitative and quantitative research coaching and mentoring programs," Ambasta said.
