Our Impact
Our mission is to build a more responsive and sustainable world through awareness, education, training and eco-entrepreneurship in environmental management and sustainability.
Sustainability cannot remain an intention. It has to move into practice. That requires people with the right knowledge, enterprises with practical solutions, and institutions with the capacity to respond to environmental and sustainability challenges.
Ekonnect was created in 2012 to help build that capacity.
Ekonnect Knowledge Foundation is a not-for-profit working at the intersection of environmental management, sustainability and entrepreneurship. Our work has evolved from a need to take deep technical expertise beyond consulting, building the knowledge, capabilities and enterprises needed for a more sustainable future.
We are a multidisciplinary advisory think tank delivering awareness, training, education and entrepreneurship programs in this space. Over more than a decade, we have worked with professionals, businesses, government, academia and communities across India and beyond, building capabilities and supporting solutions that respond to these evolving challenges.
With a network of 25+ global partnerships, we undertake policy-driven research and action-based projects grounded in community engagement, designed to create meaningful, lasting environmental impact.
