What does it take to spin an idea into a vision, to build that vision into an organization of world-beating excellence, and to inspire that organization to evolve into a movement?

 

Today, the Agastya International Foundation reaches creative and interactive science and art learning to nearly 5 million underserved children a year.

 

The Moving of Mountains is the story of Agastya. It serves as an inspiration not just for social entrepreneurs looking to thrive in the non-profit space, but also for anyone that wishes to understand the transformative learnings that allow a world-class organization to grow from the ground up. It illustrates how, by combining a purity of purpose with a fiercely unapologetic corporate ethos, an institution can have meaningful, continual impact on a massive scale. Finally, it showcases how a team that is infused with excellence and clarity of vision will consistently deliver results of heartwarming consequence.

 

Written by Adhirath Sethi, The Moving of Mountains has been praised by thought leaders, policy makers and captains of industry for its gripping and inspirational narrative. In an insightful foreword, Dr. A.S. Kiran Kumar, Former Chairman of the Indian Space Research Organisation, compares Agastya’s story as an organisation to that of India’s recent Chandrayaan 3 mission - a journey of discovery, exploration and innovation that faced many hurdles, yet culminated in ground-breaking success that has impacted millions across the country.
