Akshi Khandelwal, Founder & CEO

Akshi is an entrepreneur, an Indian classical dancer, and a martial artist.

Akshi started Butterfly Ayurveda in 2014, with the view to integrate health into people's daily lives. Always having found roots of health in raw, organic and natural sources of foods, medicine and ways of life, Ayurveda, as a science, had always intrigued her since years before. Her experience in dance, and other somatic practices has only helped her delve deeper into the subject.

Ayurveda has given her a deeper understanding of the body, mind and spirit. It has helped her in her own journey of healing and transformation.

In 2013, she started a research unit dedicated to Ayurvedic products that can be consumed as a part of modern daily lifestyle, and help heal lifestyle-related ailments. In 2014, Butterfly Ayurveda was established and decided to market its formulations. In 2018, she launched BA Bakery, an Ayurveda-inspired baking (unit).
