Meet the Founder

Dr. Ankit Tewari

  • Honorary Doctorate
  • HR & General Manager, Shiv Vilas Group
  • Board Member, HR Federation (India & Nepal)

A reader, photographer and entrepreneur, Ankit Tewari looks back on his career as a roller-coaster ride. Through every turn, he has built his path on his own terms.

“Rather than seeking support from my family business, I chose to carve my path independently. Being myself throughout this journey was both empowering and challenging.”

It forced him to confront self-doubt. Whenever it appears, he navigates it with resilience and determination.

Family comes first

Work and family are tough to balance, so he makes sure to have breakfast with his parents.

A safe workplace for all

He advocates a safe working environment, and believes young men are often dismissed or not taken seriously because of age and gender.

Leisure means family

When he finds time to unwind, he travels with his family.

“I am my own muse.”

Inspired by Frida Kahlo: I am the subject I know best, the subject I want to know better. He believes everyone is unique in their own way, and that when you stay true to yourself and focus on what you are passionate about, you can prove yourself.
