Kriya is more than a name — it’s a tribute.

Inspired by the names of my late grandparents and grounded in the Sanskrit root kri, meaning “to do,” the word “Kriya” reflects the ethic of resilience, grace, and purposeful action my elders embodied. The Kriya Foundation, founded in their memory, channels a family heritage of creative survival and quiet strength.

Our work began in the summer of 2023 with an international partnership in Karnataka, India. We functioned as educational consultants at a local government school, identifying needs in the community and filling them with curriculum development and in-kind donations. We’re currently working on an iPad drive to enhance the e-learning tools at the school.

We’re also excited to expand our innovative AAPI Small Business Initiative. Our primary goal, in everything that we do, is to create opportunities that inspire, uplift, and embolden others to reach for more.
