Lalithaa Jiji

Lalithaa Jiji founded Astrahika in 2009 with the conviction that the stories behind people and institutions are often more valuable than the institutions themselves.

Over fifteen years she has documented founders, executives, and families across the Gulf and South Asia, conducting hundreds of long-form interviews and writing the books, histories, and legacy archives that preserve them.

Her flagship work, profiling one hundred Indian business leaders in the UAE, stands as a definitive human record of the region's most consequential diaspora.
