A Brief Introduction To Ekāgratā

Ekāgratā is a Sanskrit-term which literally translates to 'single-minded attentiveness'.

The term might resonate with ambitious and driven people who have used single-minded pursuit of their passion to achieve greatness.

​

However, ekāgratā has significance beyond mere material pursuits. It is a key tenet in the practice of meditation. A lot has been published in recent years about the benefits of meditation, both for mental and physical well-being. It has also been proven to result in significant increase in productivity in workplaces. But true success in meditation can only be realised with ekāgratā on nothingness i.e. single-minded focus away from everything! That is however a separate discussion which merits a whole different website!

​

We believe ekāgratā can contribute a lot in today's fast-paced world with constant stimuli from technology and media. As humans see increasing convergence of their digital lives with their 'real' life, cutting the 'noise' might the biggest challenge of the modern generation! And sometimes taking a step back and focusing inwards with ekāgratā is all that might be needed to uplift one's creative genius.

​

 We firmly believe this concept has a place in investing too. To parse through all the noise and uncover the best investment opportunities is the ultimate goal of investing. That requires ekāgratā. Single-minded pursuit of investing excellence while avoiding the distraction of tempting but low-quality investment ideas.
