About Us
VARGHESE THOMAS (FOUNDER)
Varghese Thomas is the visionary behind Our Happiness Projects — a heartfelt initiative born from the belief that happiness multiplies when shared.
With over 15 years of experience in research publication and business development, Varghese has worked with some of the world’s most prestigious publishing houses including Oxford University Press, Springer Nature, and John Wiley. A natural communicator, a passionate photographer, and a committed advocate for social good, he brings a unique blend of creativity, empathy, and professionalism to every project.
A Spark of Change
In June 2021, Varghese led a grassroots initiative that would change his life forever. Together with friends, he organised the collection and distribution of 100+ children’s books to underprivileged kids in rural India. The moment he saw the pure joy on the children’s faces, as they clutched their
very first storybooks, he knew something extraordinary had begun.
Those radiant smiles and captured moments were shared with donors — who were deeply moved to see the impact of their kindness. That day, Varghese realised a profound truth: Happiness spreads like wildfire when fuelled by empathy and collective goodwill.
This moment became the birthplace of Our Happiness Projects, combining creative storytelling, empathy workshops, and social impact initiatives to make the world a more connected and joyful
place.
A Life of Purpose
Beyond his corporate accomplishments, Varghese has also closely collaborated with leading global charities, including World Vision and Amnesty International, aligning his work with causes that champion human rights, child welfare, and community resilience. His passion for
using creativity to drive change continues to be the foundation of Our Happiness Projects.
Whether through a camera lens or a community outreach event, OHP’s mission remains the same: To help people rediscover joy, connect with compassion, and believe in the power of small acts to change lives.
