Sonakshi Vashistha — Co-Founder

I’m the Founder of Shakti Foundation — a non-profit organization dedicated to empowering women, educating children, and helping underserved communities build self-reliant, dignity-driven futures. Before fully devoting myself to social impact, I spent over a decade in the corporate and brand activation world — leading high-impact campaigns and partnerships across India. As the head of my own event management company, I was instrumental in launching Team Rajasthan Royals during the inaugural 2008 season of the Indian Premier League, generating a 650% return on our investment. I also spearheaded marketing and brand campaigns for The Times of India, Hindware, ICICI Bank, Panasonic, Apollo, Vodafone, Reliance, AHL, and Ericsson, working across Rajasthan and the wider North Indian region. These experiences shaped my approach to operations, storytelling, and stakeholder engagement — lessons I carry with me into every initiative I lead through Shakti Foundation. Over the past two decades, I’ve worked with grassroots communities on menstrual health awareness, skilling programs for women, education drives, and food security efforts — especially during the COVID-19 crisis, where I coordinated with police authorities to deliver supplies before government relief efforts began. At Shakti, we believe change happens when empathy is backed by execution and when communities are treated as partners, not recipients. Let’s connect if you’re aligned with our mission or looking to create ground-level, purpose-led impact together.
