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.
