From a young age, they instilled in her the value of education and hard work. As the only child, she grew up receiving great attention, which in turn shaped her ambitious personality.
Her academic path took the world as her classroom. In Mumbai, she finished out her primary and secondary schooling, which then brought her to the U.S. for higher education. In 2016, she graduated from the preeminent Cornell University in New York with a Bachelor’s degree in Hotel Administration. That which is studied in the program gave her a well-rounded business background and in-depth knowledge of the hospitality field.
Professional Evolution and Entrepreneurship
Upon graduation, Alekha set out for Los Angeles to begin her career, which she spent with Deloitte as a hospitality consultant. In that capacity, she gave out strategic advice to key players in the hospitality field, which in turn sharpened her analysis skills. But her goal to impact the Indian market brought her back to Mumbai, where she joined Soho House. At the exclusive members-only club, she took up an operations role, which also had her very much involved in the luxury lifestyle and community build-out.
In 2022, Alekha took off when she launched her own business, Way Well. This wellness community came from a place of her very own health and mental well-being. Way Well does what it does best in curating unique events, workshops and retreats, which in turn educate people on balanced living.

Beyond her relationship, which is what she is known for, is that she is a very talented pianist and also does a great deal of singing, which is to say that she has a creative side that also plays to her business skills. Also on social media, which is very much a part of who she is at this time, she puts out travel journals, health tips and reports on personal milestones, which in turn is growing her audience.
