Our Story
About The 9 Foundation
The 9 Foundation finds its inspiration in a tale as ancient as it is impactful—the story of Emperor Ashoka and his society of nine unknown men. These luminaries worked in the shadows to preserve and advance knowledge for the betterment of society, embodying the principles of wisdom, innovation, and secrecy for the greater good. Echoing this tradition, The 9 Foundation aims to be a modern-day catalyst for change, leveraging the collective expertise of the Maharashtrian diaspora to address contemporary challenges and forge a future filled with hope and opportunity.
