But, through it all, I’ve been heartened to see so many people really embrace change and leverage their Good Habits to create positivity and inspire others around them. At Harappa, we believe that Good Habits are the cornerstones of success, no matter who you are and what you do. I’m thrilled to launch this initiative and hope these Habit Heroes will inspire others to be changemakers too.”
