Global Happiness Forum & Festival 2026
Freedom & Rebirth:
A World of
Possibilities
A Premier Global Initiative · Jaipur, India
A Necessary Interruption
Not necessarily better ones.
Somewhere between ambition and achievement,
well-being became optional.
GHF 2026 is not here to inspire you.
It is here to interrupt that pattern.
The Global Happiness Forum & Festival 2026 is a premier global initiative dedicated to promoting happiness, well-being, and sustainability — through meaningful dialogue, immersive experiences, and community engagement. It brings together thought leaders, policymakers, practitioners, and communities to explore happiness as both a science and a way of life.
Not Designed to Be Attended. Designed to Be Experienced.
Over two days in Jaipur, GHF 2026 unfolds as a guided journey of well-being — moving participants from awareness to practice, and from experience to integration.
Participants engage across interconnected themes: inner well-being, physical vitality, relationships, purpose, creativity, and sustainability — presenting happiness as a holistic way of living, not a destination to reach.
GHF 2026 is not limited to two days. Before the festival, conversations begin across campuses, communities, and digital platforms. After the festival, the journey continues through circles, follow-ups, and ongoing engagement.

GHF × Young Indians:
From Collaboration to Movement
Every meaningful movement needs people who can carry it forward. Young Indians brings that collective strength — with its network across youth, institutions, and industries.
Where GHF creates the experience of happiness, Yi enables the scale and continuity of that experience. Together, they move beyond a festival into a collective movement — where people don't just attend, but actively participate in shaping a more conscious way of living.
Leverage Yi's youth network to drive registrations, delegate engagement, and community participation across Jaipur and beyond.
Partner with GHF to design sessions, workshops, or panels that reflect Yi's priorities — entrepreneurship, leadership, and social impact.
Use Yi's platforms, events, and communications to build awareness before, during, and after the festival — ensuring lasting impact.
Help transform GHF from a 2-day event into an ongoing community — Yi circles, follow-up sessions, and happiness initiatives year-round.
Connect GHF with educational institutions, corporates, and civic bodies through Yi's established relationships across Rajasthan.
Bring fresh thinking to programming — hackathons for happiness, social media activations, and youth-led well-being campaigns.
We invite Young Indians to explore a formal partnership with GHF 2026. This is an open invitation to co-create — the format, the depth, and the terms can be shaped together. Let's begin the conversation.
Creating a space where people can start living happiness — consciously, collectively, sustainably.
The Global Happiness Forum & Festival 2026, with the support of the World Happiness Foundation, Kogta Foundation, and ST Foundation, is building more than an event. It is building a movement.
