ENOUGH !!

If you are fortunate, there comes a time in your life when someone makes you realise that life's purpose can be much beyond the pursuit of profit and recognition. And so you start thinking of joy and happiness in terms of not consuming more but in making the lives of others as rewarding and as fulfilling as yours. My time to do that came in 2012, thanks to a nudge from my mother in the form of a letter with just one word, "Enough!". I quit my job and started my walk pursuing a new purpose.

This journey led to the inception of Sampark Foundation, where the mission is simple yet powerful, transforming primary education for millions of children in India by empowering teachers with innovative tools, training, and resources to spark a revolution in learning.
