Hey, I’m Ritika!
Welcome to the hub for my communications and writing practice.
I work with teams in high-stakes industries—climate, AI, fintech, defense, nonprofit, VC—to help them communicate clearly and move people to action. My work shows up in fundraises, market launches, and moments when the pressure’s on.
The throughline? Keep everyone focused on one clear North Star.
Because at the end of the day, we’re just on a rock, floating through space.
What shapes my approach more than anything else: martial arts. I started training at age 8. I never quit—even when I had every reason to.
I became a black belt. Then a teacher.
I didn’t get here by following a straight path. I started freelancing 15 years ago. No roadmap. No rulebook. I fumbled. A lot.
I said yes to odd projects. Took on work that was way over my head. Asked too many questions. Learned to listen better than I spoke. Finally, I figured out what’s timeless.
These days, I train differently. Slower. Staying still. Processing more thoughtfully. I got permanently injured a while ago, so I’ve needed to adapt what martial arts looks like—for me.
It’s about stability and resilience.
That discipline carries over into everything I do, especially how I communicate.
Eventually, people started seeing me for my value as a leader, creative instincts, and ability to be a true teammate.
If you had told me, even just 10 years ago, that my career path would turn out this way, I would have laughed.
Write with Ritika is a living lab where I share what I’ve learned and test new ideas.
I enjoy mentoring others to become more creative. The best way to do that is to build in public, imperfectly.
Because “the perfect moment” doesn’t actually exist.
I believe that life is an adventure.
We solve a lot more problems when we learn to see past our rigid assumptions. To explore vs. assume.
If you’ve made it this far, you might enjoy this low-fidelity storyboard I made for the “Write with RItika” creator brand that I’ve been concepting, as I continue adventuring into my teaching practice…
