Next, she pursued a course in B.Tech in Chemical Engineering at IIT Delhi and was ranked amongst the top performers. After completing her degree in 2018, she joined Boston Consulting Group (BCG) as an Associate Consultant in Gurugram. Later, she co-founded a health company by the name Basil Health. .The company focusses on providing customisable healthy food options, with help of technology. “Basil was born from a passion to make clean, unprocessed food accessible to everyone. Recognizing the dilemma of choosing between oily cheap options and expensive diet food while on the go, the founders aimed to be a trusted brand offering affordable, preservative-free daily needs, revolutionizing convenient and healthy eating,” states its website.
Well, truth be told, academic excellence runs in the family. Her parents, Arvind Kejriwal (Delhi’s former Chief Minister) and mother Sunita Kejriwal, are both former Indian Revenue Service (IRS) officers. Her brother also secured over 96 percent in class 12 CBSE and secured a seat in IIT Delhi.
