a spark is all we needed
it all began when Lavika, a 20-year-old, was trying to understand investments and realised she was never taught anything about finance or investing money.
pondering over this unsettling thought made her adamant about bringing a change so other teens don't feel lost when they grow up.
then came in, Sajal, and they both started brainstorming on this. Sajal, a credit card user since the age of 15, had read books like 'Rich Dad Poor Dad' was now inspired to make this idea a reality.
after conceptualising the idea, came the important part - technology. to enable this, Jagveer joined hands and together they all started akudo in August 2020.
born from a scary thought of not knowing anything to a super-simplified vision of a learning-focused banking experience for teenagers, we've come a long way.
