Sneha Rakesh
Managing Director
As per Former American President, Theodore Roosevelt,a leader& a boss are worlds apart, as a boss criticizes, defends their ego& focus on themselves, while a leader encourages, coaches, uplifts one’s entire team and is always willing to learn. Sneha Rakesh, Managing Director, Akarmaxs Tech Private Limited(a web development company), is one such leader,blessed with the mindset & attitude of a Leader. Strongly believing that collaboration is the key to success and competition creates barriers,she stands apart by operating as a team player with perseverance. A people’s person, Sneha created her network in the industry across sectors to build a brand name and also provides employment to the youth. She personally took the initiative to pull-in projects, train the youth, monitor the operations, counsel the candidates to uplift their capabilities in work and deliver projects on time.
Climbing-up from the ground, Sneha garnered an interesting blend of experience concerning technology, people management, client handling, project management, business development and administrative management,among others. Having evolved into an industry expert with necessary skillset, Sneha took the leap and founded Vcreate Software Solutions as a proprietor firm, sharing her wisdom among the team to grow it as an organisation. As the entity broadened its territories, she rebranded it to Akarmaxs Tech to bring in more credentials and induct more youth in the company for
technical projects. In an exclusive
interview with CEO Insights, Sneha articulates her management style, client retention strategy and more. Here are the excerpts:
As we know, the barriers to progress for women are many in our society. As a woman leader, how crucial has your industry experience been in shaping your leadership journeys?
It wasn’t easy for me to start a company in a male dominated society where organisations are mostly run by men. But my mindset & thought of creating a healthy & professional environment within my organisation without any gender bias gave me the strength to start Akarmaxs Tech. Since it’s hard to have male employees working under a female superior, I created my mark by interacting with people from all levels to get them on board to run a healthy organisation. More over, rising up to mid senior level from a fresher level taught me regarding the organisational structure of hierarchy, people management, client management, business strategy, and so on. This made me aware of the obstacles I might face when I started Akarmaxs, and helped progress all along.
