Operating for a Greater Cause
AaKrithi Consultants was conceptualized as a Covid19 support initiative to help organizations and individuals to get back to a normal and healthier life with more confidence and fervour than before. “For me, it was very clear when I started my career in the corporate realm two decades ago that I want to be an entrepreneur. In the year 2020, I was very keen on starting my own business and I felt like I have to start now or it will be late to achieve my entrepreneurial dream.

I always wanted to give back to the society in a big wayand hence under AaKrithi banner, we are also starting an NGO ‘The AaKrithi Foundation’ to make this a reality. Many people were scared to do something new with the current pandemic situation but I was very confident and more than happy to start my Entrepreneurial journey. I love meeting different kinds of people and I try to find solutions to address the issues faced by an organization. I also give my team and the people around me a lot of freedom at work and that has helped me to achieve mine and my organizational goals”, avers Krithika Ajay.

Having Strong Support
Family plays a crucial role in the success of most individuals and when asked about how was the support from her family, Krithika adds, “I had an older brother and my parents had never shown any gender discrimination towards us and my parents and sibling have always supported me in all my ventures. They thought me how to face the world at every stage of my life. My husband - who has always been my best friend and my two sons have always stood by me in my decisions and have given me the freedom to pursue my dreams and ambitions.

I also live in a joint family and even my in laws have been very supportive of my professional journey. My family’s support has helped to achieve greater things in my professional career. It is always a great feeling to know that whatever happens in my professional life, there is a family that I can go back to.”

Finally, when asked about what her message to the aspiring women entrepreneurs of tomorrow will be, Krithika adds, “If you really think that you can make a difference for yourself and positively impact others around you, back yourself confidently and do it now.
