Globe-trotting, Career Pivots & Mom Guilt—The truth every consulting aspirant needs to hear ft Kriti Kakria
Description
Kriti Kakria didn’t map her career in straight lines. And that’s exactly what makes her story worth listening to.
She moved cities often as a kid. She shifted industries more than once. She did her MBA across London and Hong Kong. And today, she leads transformation work at one of the Big 4 firms in the UK.
This episode is packed with stories you rarely hear — the ones about starting over, figuring things out on the go, and balancing ambition with everything else life throws at you.
We talk about:
- How she broke into consulting without checking every traditional box
- What it’s like to work across India and the UK
- The quieter decisions behind her bigger career moves
- Her thoughts on motherhood and momentum
- What changed in consulting over the last decade
If you're figuring out your path — whether it’s consulting or something else — this conversation will give you a fresh way to look at things.
