About Sonika Krishnavanshi

Numbers tell stories. I first realized that standing in front of a panel of business professionals at the University of Michigan Ross Summer Business Academy, presenting a full consulting recommendation for Mindo\'s Chocolate Company.That experience changed how I think. I dug into financials, examined operations and supply chain challenges, and delivered a strategy backed by real data. It was my first taste of consulting and I\'ve been chasing that kind of work ever since.Now I\'m a freshman at Indiana University\'s Kelley School of Business, pursuing dual majors in Finance and Economic Consulting alongside a co-major in Business Analytics. I\'m also part of the Hutton Honors College, where I push myself to think bigger and dig deeper. My focus is Strategic and Operations Consulting, where I\'m drawn to the challenge of solving complex problems and helping organizations move forward with purpose.I lead with curiosity. I organize complexity into clear direction. I communicate ideas in ways that make people act. Kelley is where I\'m sharpening those skills every day through rigorous coursework and meaningful campus involvement.Outside the classroom, you\'ll find me on the pickleball court or planning my next trip somewhere new. Traveling has expanded the way I think about different cultures and perspectives, which directly shapes how I approach business problems.I\'m currently seeking a Summer 2026 internship in consulting or business strategy where I can contribute from day one.
