The Joy of Giving movement was conceptualised and created by Jerry in 2003 to encourage philanthropy for social justice (which in a nutshell means equal opportunity and fairness for one and all). The Joy of Giving Mission over the years has created a huge mindset change at a mass level and more people in India have now begun getting involved with social causes and also supporting the right causes. The idea is to practice INDIVDUAL SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY (ISR) another term coined and popularized by Jerry. In this talk Jerry talks about the power of gratitude and how gratitude and giving changes everything for human beings and how people gain more holistically when they give. Jerry explains the neuroscience of Giving and how GIVING truly creates REAL HAPPINESS from INSIDE-OUT.

To make the LEARNING ALIVE AND ENGAGING, he gives real life examples and conducts free-hand LIVE activities and interactive conversations with the audience to demonstrate how the happy chemicals work and explains the science in-depth. Jerry has addressed several companies, educational institutions, UN organisations, NGOs and business conferences organised by WEF, BNI, Toastmasters, CII, Young Indians and others. Jerry has also addressed employees of companies in their Gratitude week function, Diversity & inclusion and The Joy of Giving week functions and participants at other annual gatherings organized by Lions, Rotary, Round Table, GMIC, International Fundraising Congress, etc.
