In a world rushing to automate the future, Shanthi Reddy chose to humanize it. As the founder of Akshobya Technologies, this visionary leader from Bangalore is rewriting the rules of tech entrepreneurship—one data set, one breakthrough, and one opportunity at a time.
Building Tech with Soul
When Shanthi Reddy launched Akshobya Technologies, she wasn’t just entering the IT consulting space. She was building a blueprint for inclusive, purpose-driven innovation in an industry where women rarely lead from the front.
Headquartered in Bangalore, Akshobya is a women-led technology firm specializing in Cloud Computing, Data Engineering, AI/ML, and Cybersecurity. But it’s more than that—it’s a strategic partner for enterprises navigating digital transformation with intention.
"We don't merely offer services," says Shanthi. "We forge strategic partnerships that help businesses become future-ready."
From strategic IT consulting and custom software development to upskilling programs and technology staffing, the company delivers end-to-end solutions that empower organizations to thrive in the digital economy.
Challenges That Forged Culture
Building a tech firm from scratch is daunting. Doing it as a bootstrapped, women-led company in a traditionally male-dominated industry? That took grit.
Shanthi recalls the early days when credibility had to be earned—project by project, pitch by pitch. “We had to win trust on every project, every client, every delivery. And we did,” she says.
The tech landscape’s volatility added pressure—especially in evolving fields like AI and cybersecurity. But Shanthi countered with continuous learning, lean team building, and selective R&D investments that kept Akshobya competitive.
Instead of expanding recklessly, the firm prioritized organic growth, strategic alliances, and real-world impact—a playbook that continues to pay off.
What Sets Akshobya Apart
Akshobya’s distinct edge lies in its holistic, future-forward offerings:
Strategic Business Advisory: Helping clients align technology with top-line growth.
Full-Stack Data Mastery: Engineering, analytics, and AI under one roof.
Upskilling with Purpose: Corporate and individual training that builds job-ready talent.
Agile + Scalable Execution: Big-firm capability with boutique agility.
And at its core is Shanthi’s visionary leadership, blending sharp business insight with unwavering purpose.
"Entrepreneurship isn't a solo game. It's about building a network of trust, growth, and courage."
Recognition and Impact
Today, Akshobya is not just a company—it’s a statement. In 2025, Shanthi was honored with the Great Companies International Women Entrepreneur Award, underscoring her influence as a leader who combines technology, empathy, and excellence. On LinkedIn, her posts spark engagement from peers and aspirants alike, and her active roles with WICCI AI/ML and NASSCOM reflect her growing impact beyond corporate walls.
For the Next-Gen Women Leaders
To aspiring women entrepreneurs, Shanthi offers advice born from experience:
"Believe in your vision. Challenges will come, but resilience will carry you through. Learn constantly, collaborate wisely, and never let anyone tell you your ambition is too big."
Her message is clear: lead with purpose, claim your space, and build with meaning. Because success isn’t just about scale—it’s about substance.
At Akshobya Technologies, innovation isn’t just a technical goal—it’s a human endeavor. And Shanthi Reddy is proving that when women lead with heart, the future gets smarter—and fairer.
