Ameya Dabli, Mentor, Ekam Satt Foundation, reflected on the remarkable journey of the foundation since its inception in 2019. “This event is not just a celebration of six years but a reaffirmation of our mission-to heal, inspire, and unite people through music. Ekam Satt Foundation is honoured to collaborate with Chief of Defense Staff (CDS India), General Anil Chauhan and the Indian Tri - Services Chiefs to transform patriotism into a nationwide movement. Through the ‘Har Kaam Desh Ke Naam ’initiative, we aim to bridge the gap between civilians and our armed forces, instilling a deep sense of national pride. It is our duty to inspire 100 million Indians globally over the next 1 year, by reminding them of the heroic battles that won us freedom-something we cherish, yet often take for granted.”
Purvi Soali, Managing Trustee of the Ekam Satt Foundation highlighted, “With a 360-degree engagement campaign and the ‘Dil Se Desi ’initiative across 25 global locations, we will connect to at-least 10 million Indians worldwide. We are also committed to addressing the mental and emotional well-being of our armed forces, youth, and citizens and locally want to replicate this model. Together, let’s build a stronger India, fostering a deep sense of ownership and contributing to our nation’s journey toward becoming a Viksit Bharat.”
The evening featured a moving keynote address by General Anil Chauhan, Chief of Defence Staff (CDS India), who lauded the Foundation’s efforts and envisioned making its mission a nationwide movement. General Anil Chauhan – PVSM, UYSM, AVSM, SM, VSM (Chief of Defence Staff CDS, India) said, "When I was reappointed as the Chief of Defence Staff, Ameya Dabli came to meet me and spoke about the power of music and how it unites people. I told him, ‘I have a similar job-to unite the three services.’ We must work together for the future because warfare is evolving rapidly. So, I told him one thing: from now on, any show you do will be in a tri-service manner-not just for the Army, not just for the Air Force, not just for the Navy, but for all three together. Soldiers embody discipline, unity, and sacrifice-the same values that music and art strive to evoke across communities. Platforms like Ekam Satt Foundation, highlight how cultural and creative expressions not only unite people but also serve as a form of therapy, offering solace, healing, and resilience in the face of challenges. Music therapy has the unique power to uplift spirits and foster emotional strength, reflecting the indomitable spirit that defines our nation.”
