About Us
What we mean by SANKALPA
A SANKALPA is a personal resolve.
Something you choose deliberately—for yourself.
It isn’t a wish.
It isn’t a promise of outcomes.
And it isn’t set by anyone else.
Our artifacts don’t create change.
They remind you of the change you’ve chosen to work toward.
We work with materials that have been used for centuries not because of belief, but because of form, durability, and continuity.
Natural Narmadeshwar stone.
Genuine Rudraksha.
Solid brass.
Each artifact is designed to be worn or placed in modern life on a desk, around the neck, in a personal space.
Tradition, translated not diluted
We don’t remove tradition.
And we don’t ask you to perform it.
We explain where these artifacts come from, how they’ve been used, and what their materials signify so you can decide how (or whether) they fit into your life.
No prescriptions.
No institutions.
No intermediaries.
Founder story
SANKALPA Stone was born at the intersection of faith, design, and intent.
Across India and increasingly across the world something profound is happening. A new generation is turning inward. Gen Zs and millennials are seeking meaning, grounding, and connection to something larger than themselves. They are rediscovering spirituality not as ritual alone, but as a way of life.
Yet, as seekers, they faced a quiet contradiction.
While spiritual curiosity was rising, the products meant to support that journey felt stuck in the past—either lacking authenticity, aesthetic thought, or the ability to communicate why these objects mattered. The soul was present, but the story was missing.
SANKALPA Stone was created to change that.
SANKALPA Stone is built by Shashank N and Rajesh G, two founders whose paths across business, brands, and belief eventually converged around a single idea: spirituality deserves the same care, craftsmanship, and storytelling as any great consumer brand.
Shashank, an alumnus of IIM Bangalore, brings over nine years of experience across consumer technology companies, where he led product go-to-market strategies and sales organizations. Despite working at the cutting edge of modern consumer behavior, his grounding remained deeply spiritual shaped by curiosity about Indian heritage and a personal practice rooted in intention.
Rajesh, an alumnus of IIT Kharagpur and IIM Ahmedabad, spent over a decade building and scaling large consumer brands through sales leadership and marketing excellence. His journey, too, was guided by a lifelong engagement with spirituality not as abstraction, but as lived experience passed down through tradition.
