V isually challenged entrepreneur Siddharth Aryan Patro is transforming MSMEs, education, and cultural promotion through his ventures Rekniq Consultants LLP, Future Shiksha, and House of Mit. Despite challenges like funding and team building, Siddharth’s persistence, inclusivity, and reinvestment strategy have helped him build successful startups impacting thousands of lives.
When Siddharth Aryan Patroset out to redefine entrepreneurship, he envisioned a world where economic growth and inclusivity went hand in hand. As the co-founder of Rekniq Consultants LLP, House of Mit, and Future Shiksha, Siddharth has turned his vision into reality, creating ventures that empower small businesses, provide affordable education, and showcase Odisha’s cultural heritage on a global scale.
Born in Cuttack, Odisha, Siddharth’s journey is nothing short of remarkable. Despite being visually challenged from birth, he has carved a path of resilience, determination, and innovation. A PhD scholar with an MBA from Sri Sri University and a BBA from Utkal University, Siddharth credits his success to a deep desire to contribute to society and an unyielding commitment to excellence.
Siddharth’s ventures are as diverse as they are impactful:
“In each venture, the goal is the same,” says Siddharth. “To serve the underserved, fulfill their dreams, and make a positive impact on society.”
Building three startups simultaneously is no easy feat, especially for someone facing skepticism due to disability. “Funding was a major challenge,” Siddharth recalls. “But instead of depending on investors, we reinvested our own income into the business. This allowed us to retain full decision-making power.”
Another hurdle was assembling a talented team on a tight budget. Siddharth and his co-founder, Akasmika Swain—his MBA batchmate and elder sister—overcame this by training interns and involving them in key projects. “Our interns created the House of Mit e-commerce platform from scratch, even without prior coding knowledge,” he proudly shares.
The turning point for Rekniq Consultants LLPcame with their first client, referred by an intern from Future Shiksha. The teamwork of interns also led to the development of House of Mit’s fully automated website. “Seeing their dedication and innovation was one of my proudest moments,” says Siddharth.
Through these milestones, the startups have collectively impacted thousands of lives, providing affordable services, educational opportunities, and global exposure to Odisha’s artisans.
Siddharth’s business philosophy revolves around inclusivity and affordability. “Most companies focus on high-ticket clients,” he observes. “We cater to low and mid-ticket customers, enabling them to achieve their dreams at accessible prices.”
For instance:
Over the next five years, Siddharth envisions his ventures becoming global leaders in their respective industries. “Our focus isn’t just on profits,” he emphasizes. “We aim to solve societal problems, support capable yet resource-deprived individuals, and contribute to the economy.”
Plans include:
Siddharth’s advice is both practical and profound: “Start a business not for glamour, but to create value. Be patient, embrace criticism, and learn from losses—they’re part of the journey. Above all, ensure your work benefits others.”
He adds, “Stay flexible. Markets evolve, and so should your mission. Listen to your customers; they’re the kings of your business.”
Siddharth Aryan Patro’s story is a testament to the power of perseverance and vision. From a small town in Odisha to making waves in consulting, education, and e-commerce, he has shown that barriers can be overcome with grit and ingenuity. His ventures stand as beacons of hope, empowering communities and showcasing India’s potential on the global stage.
As Siddharth continues to expand his impact, one thing remains clear: his journey has just begun.
