These together covered close to a thousand people of three generations. All through his life, he has worked towards ensuring better health of people and thus ensuring happiness. He professionally worked as an Executive with GSK, worldäó»s leading Pharmaceutical Company, thus helping people fight diseases and lead a healthy life. Post retirement, he revived his passion for making people laugh and soon leveraged this to spread happiness and health. This led him to get associated with many organizations like Rotary, Bagban, Samarpan, Talash, Bihar Productivity Council etc. where he became an integral part contributing to the cause of each of the organizations. He has received many accolades and honorary memberships like

He has also enthralled audiences in Seattle, USA, and has been honoured by the Seattle Hindi Samiti. Mr. Bishwanath Verma, through his passion of spreading happiness, has taken up many more roles and has contributed greatly to society. When people take a step back to sit back and enjoy a sedentary retired life, and more so when you have survived a heart attack, the three stents inside his body have only toughened his resolve and he has taken many steps forward to lead an active and meaningful life, giving back to the society and spreading the message of health and happiness in a world that is forgetting how to stay happy. To this ex-Executive of Pharma Giant GSK, Laughter remains the best medicine.
