Business magnate, Manu Chandaria, is no stranger to success as his empire extends to four generations, massing wealth valued at billions of shillings in the process.

The mogul owns Comcraft Group - a manufacturing and technology-based company with presence in over 40 countries. 

Chandaria, has in the past, praised his family for the unrivalled achievements, priding himself of having children who have taken after him.

His son, Neal Chandaria currently runs the family business and has been the point man for the Comcraft companies based in Asia and Europe for over two decades.

However, one of Neal Chandaria's children has stepped away from the family business, chanting her own narrative and building her legacy. 

Ayushi Chandaria is a renowned swimmer who has represented the country in international competitions on multiple occasions. Ayushi, a Stanford alumnus, graduated in 2020 with a Degree in Computer Science and Product Design. 

She further enrolled at a management consulting firm, McKinsey & Company, based in New York, US, where she works as a Business Analyst. 

In a past interview at Stanford University, she revealed the vital role her father played in her school life. Ayushi, like her father, was also pre-selected to study at the prestigious university. 

"I took rigorous A-levels and did well in them, all whilst spending a lot of time on extracurricular activities. The US likes students who are well-rounded!"

"(In terms of writing various essays to different universities) My dad proofread all my essays. I also asked as many people as I could to read my essays to point out any grammatical errors so that I could fix them," she stated. 

In 2019, she designed a 8-week curriculum for youth in order to train Kenyan students and young entrepreneurs on problem solving. 

Her brother, Nirali, also a Stanford University alumnus, graduated with a degree in Human Biology and Political Science. Nirali specialized in human behaviour and organisational psychology - studying at various law firms such as Tan Rajah & Cheah, Dentons Rodyk as well as EY-Parthenon, a strategy consulting organisation. 

Her aunt, Priti Chandaria, is a Geneva-based fundraising guru who heads a number of international committees. She attended the University of London, majoring in Statistics, Public Administration, and Sociology.
