In the vibrant city of Bengaluru, amidst the tech start-ups and innovation hubs, Akkolade emerged as a beacon of guidance and empowerment for students and professionals alike. Founded two years ago by a passionate team of industry veterans, Akkolade was born from a collective vision to bridge the gap between education, career aspirations, and global opportunities.
The Founding Team's Collective Experience Comprising seasoned professionals with diverse backgrounds in finance, education, and corporate consultancy, the founding team of Akkolade brings together decades of combined expertise. Led by Aparna, a former Citibank executive who cultivated deep insights into corporate cultures and educational needs through collaborations with over 100 corporate entities, the team shares a commitment to empowering individuals through knowledge and guidance.
