About Us

At The Eleos Project, we are committed to nurturing compassionate, self-aware leaders by creating safe, experiential spaces in schools where students and teachers connect deeply, grow together, and take meaningful action in the world.

Founded in 2020 by Ninad Thakur, The Eleos Project was born from a deep commitment to helping young people discover who they are and lead with compassion. With over six years of experience as a mentor and facilitator, Ninad envisioned schools as spaces where students and educators grow together—guided by empathy, collaboration, and purpose.

What makes The Eleos Project unique is our focus on building cultures of Compassionate Leadership. By centering connection, emotional intelligence, and experiential learning, we believe in creating ripple effects of meaningful change—in schools, communities, and beyond.

Our Mission:

At The Eleos Project, we create safe, nurturing spaces in schools where students and teachers can discover themselves, build meaningful connections, develop essential life skills, and take purposeful action aligned with what they care about.

Our Approach:

At The Eleos Project, we use experiential, student-centric methods that prioritize real connection, reflection, and action. We collaborate closely with schools and educational institutions to co-create programs that engage both students and teachers.

Through immersive workshops, listening circles, and hands-on projects, we aim to build a culture of compassion, collaboration, and purposeful action within school communities—where everyone feels seen, heard, and empowered to make a difference.

Guided by the expertise of our advisory board—comprising senior educators and leaders in education—we ensure that our offerings are meaningful, relevant, and transformative.
