About Directors

Mrs. Avantika Savarkar

Mrs. Avantika Savarkar, affectionately addressed as Maa Avantika has completed her education in Biotechnology. She supplemented her professional qualification with a certificate program in Naturopathy and Yoga.

Her intense desire to know the eternal principles of life and search for righteous way of leading it drew her towards study of Vedanta Philosophy.

In 2009, she committed herself in the service of humanity and got associated with Maharshi Arvind Foundation. She was greatly influenced by Shri Arvind’s attitude of service and unconditional love for the humanity whom she venerates as her Master.

During her association with Maharshi Arvind Foundation, she broadened her perspective on social life and researched on the root cause of human suffering. She minutely observed and studied the education programs conducted by the Foundation under its Path of Divine Life concept and the influence of these programs on personality such as behavior, thoughts and actions.

This is what invoked her interest to become a social entrepreneur and in 2015, guided by her mentor, she founded Ethnic Science Foundation and took over as its Director.
