At just 15, Keshika Manohar is not your average teenager. Founder of K’s Kitchen, a burgeoning baking and confectionery enterprise, Keshika has carved out a niche for herself in the culinary world while juggling multiple roles as an animal activist, TEDx speaker, public speaker, and social media influencer.
"My journey into baking began during the Covid-19 pandemic," Keshika shares. "Inspired by my sister's suggestion, I ventured into cooking and eventually found my passion for baking." What started as a creative outlet quickly evolved into a full-fledged business endeavor, driven by Keshika's innate talent and entrepreneurial spirit.
Keshika sees the struggle of balancing her burgeoning business with school and tuition. "Inconsistency was my initial mistake," she admits. "But I quickly learned the importance of prioritizing consistency despite setbacks. Dedication is key to long-term success in any venture."
Networking has also been instrumental in Keshika's entrepreneurial journey. "Fostering relationships with fellow entrepreneurs and building a strong network of contacts has opened doors to collaborations and growth opportunities," she shares..
"My family has been incredibly supportive, encouraging me to explore my talents and strike a balance between education and pursuing my career goals," she affirms. Their undying belief in her abilities has been a driving force amidst skepticism and negativity from peers about starting a business at a young age.
Access to resources like the internet, YouTube, and Google has been pivotal for Keshika. Researching and kick-starting her business wouldn't have been possible without these invaluable tools.
Her philosophy of business centers on finding happiness and flow in her work, believing that joy and creativity enhance productivity and contribute to achieving financial success. Her age stands out as a unique selling point in the competitive baking industry, bringing fresh perspectives and innovation to her craft.
Today, she embodies a life philosophy of continuous learning and pursuing activities that bring joy and fulfillment. "Never cease learning," she advises, "and always strive to engage in endeavors that resonate with your passions."
