Sangam

At the heart of Ekam Knowledge Foundation lies the profound vision of our founders, Ashish Shukla Ji and Saloni Ji. They strongly believe that when like-minded individuals come together, they create a beautiful Sangam—a sacred confluence of profound knowledge and varied cultural heritage. It is through this union of minds and spirits that the very roots of Ekam are nourished and strengthened.

Ekam’s core mission is to bridge gaps and bring people and cultures together in harmony. We are honored to introduce our ever-growing Sangam: a vibrant Samagam of intellectually rich and spiritual beings. This collective wisdom serves as the guiding light for our mission, ensuring that as we grow, we remain deeply rooted in the values of unity, heritage, and holistic enlightenment.

Elements

At Ekam Knowledge Foundation, we draw inspiration from timeless symbols of Indian wisdom and culture. The Vedas guide us with knowledge that transcends generations, while the Pushpak Viman symbolizes innovation, imagination, and exploration beyond boundaries. The Dhanush Ban reflects focus, strength, and determination to achieve one’s goals, and the Aakash reminds us of limitless possibilities when learning takes flight. The Paduka stands for respect towards tradition, humility, and grounding values, while the Dharma Chakra represents righteousness, balance, and the eternal pursuit of truth. Together, these elements form the essence of our philosophy—where heritage meets modern education to shape responsible, creative, and confident learners.
