Our Vision & Mission
Our Vision
To harness youth potential through technology and inspirational journeys, inspiring young people to bring positive social change, bridge the gap between thinkers and doers, and create a happier, more empowered society.
Our Mission
Our mission is to empower youth to lead social change by providing a connected platform that bridges volunteers, organizations, and communities in need. Through transformative journeys like Prerna Yatra, we inspire young leaders to connect with real-life role models and constructively channel their talents to uplift underprivileged communities and spread happiness.
Our Story
Rooted in the spiritual and natural charm of Bharuch along the Narmada River, Nitin Tailor walked away from a comfortable IT career in Bangalore to serve his motherland. Armed with degrees from IIIT Bangalore and Sweden, alongside Stanford certification in Technology Entrepreneurship, he returned to Gujarat to leverage technology for rural healthcare and education.
This passion birthed Serve Happiness Foundation, a platform dedicated to uplifting rural communities and bridging the gap between social thinkers and doers.
Key Milestones:
Prerna Yatras: Launched experiential journeys—starting with the Narmada Prerna Yatra (later expanding to Sabarmati and Tapi)—to connect youth with local changemakers and foster rural entrepreneurship.
National Recognition: The Narmada Prerna Yatra report was officially launched by Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam in 2015, who praised its focus on rural development through enterprise.
Global Impact: Awarded IIIT Bangalore’s Entrepreneur of the Year (2014), Nitin was invited to the UN Headquarters in New York as a founding member of the World Happiness Consortium.
Today, Serve Happiness continues to build a national movement—inspiring youth to drive sustainable change in education, healthcare, eco-tourism, and agriculture across India.
