Kruti Kumar Jain
Pune’s Kruti Kumar Jain, made Executive Director of Kumar Builders at seventeen, has bagged multiple awards over the course of a very young and quick succession. The Top Management Consortium Award of Excellence for 2004-05, received from Maharashtra Governor S M Krishna is one of them. In 2012, she was also invited to speak on NDTV’s Young Guns of Real Estate.
Her journey started with Kumar Builders started at eight, where she attended her first society handover meeting where dad, Lalit Kumar Jain, handed over operations for a community housing project to the residents. At the age of thirteen, with an intention to get all good qualities from her father, spent a summer with her dad in the office and at various construction sites. This ironically was her very first action which got her hooked and eventually led to taking over the business at a very early stage.
Kruti officially joined work at fifteen, the day after she finished her tenth-grade exams. But her father did not make it easy for her. The next two years were spent with her rotating through twenty-three different departments, reporting to the very people who report to her today. She had targets to achieve, relationships to build.
