Making Mondays Magical: How One Founder Is Rewriting Workplace Culture
Manage episode 495957008 series 3654798
In this episode of Founders, Future, with host Ammar Elm, we sit down with Kapil Patel, founder of Inspiring Happiness at Work, a consultancy dedicated to transforming workplace culture through emotional well-being and engagement. A former IT professional who turned his own struggle with workplace dissatisfaction into a mission, Kapil shares how his journey from misery to purpose led him to help organizations boost productivity by 12-13% through happiness-centric strategies. He reveals why he pivoted from a lucrative tech career to focus on helping employees "make Mondays magical" and how his research-backed approach creates measurable impact for small to mid-sized companies.*
Kapil dives into his 3-tiered service model—keynotes, workshops, and 6-12 month culture transformation programs—and why the long-term engagements drive the most meaningful change. He discusses the challenges of launching a happiness-focused business in an economic downturn, the surprising sectors showing the most demand (IT, healthcare, and education), and his ambitious 3-year goal to positively impact 10,000 employees. For entrepreneurs balancing purpose and profitability, Kapil offers hard-won advice on starting part-time, building financial runway, and why happiness at work isn’t a luxury—it’s a strategic necessity for the AI era.*
