About UsEkonnect was envisioned by Dr Prasad Modak who is the Executive President at the Environmental Management Centre (EMC), India.
Previously faculty at the Indian Institute of Technology (Mumbai) for over a decade, and now a well-established national and international environmental consultant, Dr Modak has clear insights and experience in capacity building, training and education.
Dr Modak is assisted by his team at EMC, consisting of a group of trained environmental professionals with skills in engineering, science, economics and planning. This core team is supported by Associates that work from India as well as from outside India on a part-time or full-time basis. Associates bring in skills and experience in specialized areas in the environmental domain.
Our Philosophy
At Ekonnect, our philosophy concentrates on achieving the best possible outcomes through meaningful learning, networking and capacity building. At Ekonnect, we strive to extend the learning experience beyond the traditional forms of training and education through the use of 'suround' support systems such as multimedia tools, group learning, peering and mentoring. In doing so, we offer “blended” learning solutions which help our clients gain that crucial edge over their contemporaries.
Our insights gained through years of experience helps us impart well-rounded learning experiences and provides us with the satisfaction of bridging the gaps currently existing in the mainstream environmental domain today.
