How to keep NavLink active even though other links are clicked?

In a React project, I'm trying to keep NavLink active even though any other links are clicked and navigated to it. Please refer to the code below for better clarity.

const LeftMenu = () => {
  return (
    <div className="side-navbar active-nav d-flex justify-content-between flex-wrap flex-column">
      <div>
        <ul className="btn-toggle-nav list-unstyled fw-normal small">
          <li className="nav-item-dropdown">
            <span className="mx-3">
              <NavLink to={companyShares} className="dropdown-nav-link px-3">
                COMPANY SHARES
              </NavLink>
            </span>
          </li>

          <li className="nav-item-dropdown">
            <span className="mx-3">
              <NavLink to={companyTech} className="dropdown-nav-link px-3">
                COMPANY TECH
              </NavLink>
            </span>
          </li>
        </ul>
      </div>
    </div>
  );
};

When clicked on button in a page, navigates to another screen, the side menu loses active background color. My intention is to make it active, whatever other links are clicked. What could be the best solution?
