Inside Founders | July 2026 Edition
Some people build successful careers. Others build remarkable identities. Kramik Yadav, a public figure from Ahmedabad, Gujarat, has accomplished both.
The son of renowned businessman Mr. Poonam Chandra Yadav, Kramik has established himself as an entrepreneur, international model, actor, fashion pageant judge, Garba choreographer, and youth icon. His journey is a powerful example of how discipline, family values, cultural pride, and relentless dedication can create an extraordinary legacy.
Rather than limiting himself to one profession, Kramik has successfully balanced multiple careers while staying deeply connected to his roots. Today, he continues to inspire thousands of young people across India through his achievements, leadership, and commitment to excellence.
Built on Family Values and Entrepreneurial Roots
Born and raised in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, Kramik inherited his entrepreneurial mindset from his father, Mr. Poonam Chandra Yadav, who has been successfully running his business since 1987.
Working alongside his father has taught Kramik the importance of hard work, discipline, integrity, and long-term vision. Despite his growing recognition in fashion and entertainment, he remains actively involved in managing the family business.
"My father is my role model and my superhero. Watching him build his business with honesty and determination inspires me every day. The values I have learned from him motivate me to inspire today's youth to dream big while staying grounded."
This strong business foundation has enabled Kramik to balance entrepreneurship with a flourishing career in fashion, entertainment, and public appearances.
Creating a Global Identity Through Pageantry
Kramik entered the world of professional modeling with determination and quickly emerged as one of India's most recognized male pageant personalities.
His impressive journey includes several prestigious national and international titles:

Preserving Gujarat's Cultural Heritage
While fashion brought him national recognition, Kramik's heart has always remained deeply connected to Gujarat's vibrant cultural traditions.
An accomplished Garba choreographer and dancer, he has dedicated years to promoting Gujarati folk culture through large-scale performances and choreographed productions.
One of the proudest achievements of his cultural journey came during Ahmedabad's world-famous Navratri Festival, where he created an extraordinary record.
Across all nine nights of Navratri, Kramik won the First Prize – Best Garba Player (Best Garba Kheliya) every single day, an exceptional accomplishment that reflects his unmatched passion, consistency, and mastery of the traditional dance form.
