As a mother to an 11-year-old boy, Ekta is closely connected to the realities of modern parenting. Her own journey of raising a mindful, compassionate, and intellectually curious child has been the driving force behind her stories and workshops. Through LitJoys, she strives to nurture children who are emotionally intelligent, connected to nature, and equipped with the values needed to create a more compassionate, sustainable and happier world.
Ekta’s passion for bringing a societal impact extends beyond her books. Ekta has been anchoring the Book Club meetings within her condominium, engaging readers of all ages. She has set up a library involving children of her community to foster a true love for reading in kids across age groups and adults.
