Dear friends,

It’s been a dream to serve the community for the last 30 years and get so much love from you all. I would like to share with you the core values and aspirations that define Navratan Foundations.

Our foundation stands on five pillars – Skill Training, Adult Education, Women Empowerment, Mental Health, and Talent Enhancement. These pillars represent our unwavering commitment to making a positive impact on the lives of those in need. In our journey, I have come to believe that a person s most valuable assets are not just a head filled with knowledge but also a heart brimming with love, ears ready to listen, and hands always willing to extend help to others. These qualities are at the heart of what we do at Navratan.

Starting Navratan was not merely an act of philanthropy but a heartfelt endeavor to create a platform for the less fortunate to thrive. Transitioning from my corporate role to dedicating my energies to the foundation has been a deeply gratifying journey. We understand that building trust is paramount. Whether it's providing education, enabling women to take charge of their lives, or nurturing the talents of the youth, our progress in these areas has been incredibly satisfying.

As social innovators, we must embody vision, tenacity, and courage. It's imperative that we never give up on finding innovative solutions within our means to uplift and support the often-overlooked talents that exist within our society.

With warm regards,

Ashok Srivastava
