Ashok Subramanian :
The Pillar Who Stands Beside Us
Year: 2025 | Role: Advisor & Mentor
Ashok is someone truly above everything for us, the person we turn to, the one we can always count on. Our journey with him began even before we met in person, through his genuine appreciation of our sustainability work on LinkedIn. But it was during a coffee conversation at Starbucks, where we poured our hearts out about our vision, that everything shifted. From that very moment, Ashok became more than a supporter, he became a pillar, stepping in with depth, wisdom, and unwavering belief in what we were trying to build.
The right guidance doesn’t just show you the pat, it teaches you how to walk it.
What makes Ashok extraordinary is the sheer breadth of the ways he has stood by us. From collaborating through his venture capital, to making us sustainability partners, he has consistently gone beyond what we imagined possible. In every conversation and every action, he has shown us how deeply he believes in women driving sustainability and manufacturing.
Ashok is not just a guide, he is also our greatest advocate. His words about us come from the heart, spoken with conviction that inspires others to believe in our vision too. People often come back to us sharing how he has proudly spoken about our work, motivating them to step forward in support. And it doesn’t stop at words. Whenever something goes wrong, no matter how small, Ashok is immediately in action, making calls, finding solutions, doing everything possible to get things sorted. His wisdom and his constant presence have become the force that transforms challenges into momentum.
” Together, we turned compassion into purpose, and purpose into progress.”
For us, Ashok is an absolute blessing, more than a mentor, more than a partner, truly a gift we could never have dreamed of. He has given us wisdom, opportunities, networks, and above all, belief. Our journey with him has only just begun, and we know it will continue for a long time, filled with impact and shared action. For standing by us in every way imaginable, and for being the voice, the force, and the pillar of our vision, we are endlessly grateful. Thank you, Ashok, for being with us, always.
It takes a village to nurture innovation. Every person featured here has played a part in shaping a brighter future. If you’ve been a part of our journey, know that your support is etched into DPurpose’s story forever.
