Krittika was born in Chiang Rai, Thailand where she developed her interests in social development through King’s Sufficiency Economy Philosophy. Following her passion, Krittika spent 5 years working at ChangeFusion, a Bangkok-based non-profit organization where she was able to work with many social entrepreneurs. She had the opportunity to lead and manage the development of several social enterprise initiatives such as policy support, incubation programs and corporate partnership. Most recently, she was a coordinator for Global Social Entrepreneurship Network, UnLtd UK, where she was responsible for communication and event organization. Working with social enterprise supporting organisations around the world helped her realize that opportunity and access to capital are the key factors for entrepreneurs to grow. Her passion for social impact and supporting entrepreneurs to achieving their goals led her to take on Kiva Fellowship. Krittika is also passionate about travelling and is always eager for new cultures and experiences. She is excited and thrilled to relocate to Yangon, Myanmar where she will be able to support Kiva’s mission to alleviate poverty through micro-lending and employ her skills to create positive change. Krittika spends her free time reading, cooking, running, practicing yoga, and rock climbing.
