Hrithik Manave

From captured dreams to crafted frames

“The mentoring sessions were awesome. All my mentors shared their knowledge and experiences, encouraging me to balance studies and sports. When I was in class 10, my mentor taught me that if I don’t understand a topic, I should look it up YouTube to learn it quickly.”

Hrithik’s journey with Abhyudaya began in 2011. Coming from a Marathi-medium school, he enjoyed computers, English, drawing, crafts, yoga, and football. The winter and summer camps gave him the confidence he needed in school.

However, when he transitioned from Marathi to English-medium after class 10, he struggled. It took him extra time to grasp concepts in English, and he often fell behind in the syllabus. In HSC/12th board prelims, he did not perform well, which was a significant setback.

Hrithik’s mother is a homemaker, and his father works as a housekeeper. Following his passion, Hrithik is now a freelance photographer and graphic designer. He has seven years of experience in photography and four years in graphic design. Over the years, he has covered over 200 weddings and 60 corporate events.

As a freelance photographer, Hrithik independently offers services across diverse projects, including weddings, corporate events, product shoots, and gigs. He also manages Instagram pages, handling everything from capturing and editing images to managing client relationships, marketing, and business logistics.

“I aspire to establish my own business as a trusted and recognised brand.”

Hrithik is part of the first cohort of Sashakt, and we hope to help him achieve his dream.
