The Aadishakti Foundation was initiated in 2002 when a group of friends came together with the intention of giving back to the society. They were inspired by the thought and philosophy of Peter Senge, the founder of the Society for Organizational Learning, who has propagated that “sustainability, social equality and the environment are now business problems,” and corporate leaders can’t expect governments to solve them alone.
What triggered these thoughts was the liberalisation of the Indian economy in 1990, which brought immense opportunities. Business revived, and India became not just a market, but also an investment prospect for the developed world. Disposable incomes and early settlements became a living reality for the working middle class. For the first time in India, professionals could think beyond making a living, and contribute towards the society.
Fuelled with enthusiasm, the Aadishakti founders gave shape to their dream, and the Aadishakti Foundation was born. Over the last two decades, Aadishakti has evolved as a sustainable Indian social institution—committed to doing real work on the ground and making society and businesses inclusive in the process of bringing change.
On our way, we had to make many difficult choices and constantly innovate – whether it was choosing to work on the ground through a service-delivery approach, practicing management principles and adopting a business-like approach in the development sector, creating a unique resource modeling keeping businesses at the centre, or promoting the concept of civic driven change. Yes, we almost always took the road less travelled, and as they say, that has made all the difference!
Our aim
Our aim is to create awareness in the society so that at the time of need we do not turn our backs but go ahead and help. For a better future of the society, we have to keep helping each other, only then we will be able to establish a better future and society.
Our mission is to foster a sense of awareness and responsibility within society so that, in times of need, we choose to step forward and extend our help rather than turning away. A compassionate and supportive society is essential for building a brighter future. Helping each other creates a ripple effect, strengthening bonds and inspiring others to contribute to the greater good.
By cultivating empathy and solidarity, we can ensure that no one feels alone in their struggles. Whether through small acts of kindness or collective efforts during crises, every contribution matters. A society where people actively support one another is a society destined for progress, harmony, and resilience.
To achieve this vision, we must encourage and educate individuals to recognize the power of helping hands. It is not just about addressing immediate challenges but also about creating a culture of care that persists for generations. When we work together selflessly, we lay the foundation for a better tomorrow, where humanity thrives on the values of trust, kindness, and cooperation. Let us commit to this shared purpose, ensuring a sustainable and compassionate society for everyone.
