AIKYA THE ONE
Empowering people to create meaningful change from within.
For over two decades, Aikya The One has been dedicated to supporting people through change, challenge and personal growth.
Our work is rooted in a simple belief: meaningful transformation begins when people feel seen, heard and supported and are given the tools to better understand themselves, recognise their strengths and move forward with greater clarity and confidence.
Through individual coaching, emotional wellness programmes, workshops, corporate programmes and immersive experiences, we create spaces where people can reconnect with themselves, develop greater self-awareness and build the inner resources to navigate life with greater resilience.
Quality. Integrity. Compassion.
Our Story
Founded by Blossom Furtado 26 years ago, Aikya The One began with a vision to support people on their journey towards personal growth and emotional wellbeing. Over the years, Aikya has grown and evolved, expanding its work across individual coaching, workshops, corporate programmes and immersive experiences, while remaining true to the values on which it was founded.
Our Approach
Our approach is individual, integrative and deeply human. We believe meaningful change begins with understanding the person, not simply the problem. By helping people develop greater self-awareness, recognise patterns that may be holding them back and reconnect with their own strengths and resources, we support them in finding practical and meaningful ways to move forward.
Our Values
QUALITY • INTEGRITY • COMPASSION
Our values guide everything we do at Aikya The One. Quality reflects our commitment to professionalism, care and continued learning. Integrity means working with honesty, responsibility and respect. Compassion lies at the heart of how we connect with every individual, creating spaces where people feel heard, understood and supported without judgement.
MEET THE PEOPLE BEHIND AIKYA
Different journeys. Different areas of expertise. One shared commitment to helping people move forward.
RITIKA FURTADO SHARMA
Director, Aikya The One
Mindset & Performance Coach | Corporate Trainer | Counsellor | NLP Practitioner
Ritika’s journey in personal development has spanned more than 25 years. What began as a deep curiosity about people and human behaviour during her years in the corporate world eventually led her to leave her corporate career and dedicate herself fully to this work. A Mindset and Performance Coach, Counsellor and Trainer, Ritika’s approach is also shaped by her own life experiences. Having navigated hardships herself, she understands how isolating it can feel when you cannot see a way forward, strengthening her belief that no one should have to feel completely helpless or hopeless.
At the heart of Ritika’s work is her ability to connect with people. Clients often speak about how easy it is to talk to her and feel truly heard without judgement. She helps people see patterns and possibilities they may not have recognised on their own and, most importantly, rediscover their belief in themselves.
As a wildlife photographer with a deep connection to the natural world, Ritika believes some of life’s greatest lessons can be found in nature. This connection has become an integral part of her philosophy and the experiences she creates through Aikya.
Her work is grounded in a simple belief: sometimes, people need someone to help them see what they cannot yet see for themselves and believe in them until they are ready to believe in themselves again.
