Akanksha Singh – Co-founder

Akanksha Singh is an entrepreneur with a professional background in biotechnology and the pharmaceutical industry. Originally from Varanasi (Kashi) and currently based in Pune, she brings together professional experience, entrepreneurial spirit, and a passion for hospitality.

She completed her MBA in Biotechnology from Amity University and spent seven years working in the pharmaceutical industry, gaining valuable corporate experience and developing a professional approach to business, service, and relationship-building.
