About Us
Project Happiness was founded to bring a positive change in society by helping individuals enhance their overall quality of life. Gurseet (Founder) saw the need of the hour in the plight of smokers who were unable to quit despite multiple attempts. But, unfortunately, there was no effective treatment that dealt with smoking comprehensively during this time.
He decided to start Smotect (under Project Happiness) to develop a holistic solution to alleviate their addiction and improve their quality of life. Since 2015, Smotect has undertaken numerous clinical trials and extensive research and helped many kick the smoking habit with 20,000+ success stories.

Swaarup S Chatterjjee
Chief Consulting Officer (non - executive)
In Swaarup's opinion, "Smotect is the best combination of handholding and assistance for motivating and assisting smokers to choose life over smoking and other similar tobacco addictions. Smotect is a perfect compliment towards such an initiative that’s not only based on ayurveda but probably currently the only such alternative for the society assuring a direct and powerful promise to change (for the better)."
