‘HAPPILI’ master plan unveiled at mega entrepreneurs’ meet

In a bid to redefine urban living beyond high-rises and luxury estates, the official master plan of Bangladesh’s first-ever planned happiness city, 'HAPPILI', has been unveiled. 

Grounded in the visionary philosophy, "Money Can't Buy Happiness. A City Can," the comprehensive blueprint was launched during the 'BRAVE Family Day 2026' festival, held on 31 October at the open grounds of Fortis in Dhaka, according to a press release.

Organised by the Coach Kanchon Academy, the day-long grand gala brought together thousands of emerging entrepreneurs and their families from across the country. 

Marking a historic first for the BRAVE platform, members gathered alongside their spouses, parents, and children. On this momentous occasion, the blueprint for 'BRAVE Valley'—an exclusive, state-of-the-art community and professional networking hub designed specifically for business leaders—was also introduced.

The focal point of the convention was an exclusive session by Coach Kanchon, Bangladesh’s first certified Happiness Coach and a four-time consecutive bestselling author on Rokomari. 

Addressing the massive gathering, he emphasised that ultimate business success is incomplete without a happy family and mental tranquility. 

He urged the entrepreneurial community to make courageous decisions, prioritise work-life harmony, and uplift others to foster a legacy of collective societal well-being.

During the event, BRAVE members took the stage to share transformative testimonials of how the platform fundamentally elevated both their commercial enterprises and personal lives. 

The festival also heavily focused on the next generation, hosting innovative competitions titled "Paint My Happiness City" and "Write My Happiness City," where children vividly expressed their dreams of a green, safe, and sustainable urban future.

Furthering the ethos of corporate social responsibility, the event highlighted the upcoming ventures of the 'Jitao Foundation'. 

Driven by the core question, "Whom have you helped win today?", the foundation announced structured long-term plans to spearhead high-impact projects in education, healthcare, environmental conservation, and human welfare.

The country's premier corporate-family confluence drew to a close with the inspiring, unified chant: "Let’s extend our hands to all; by helping others win, we shall win together."
