From the Board of Directors (India):
At KYK, we believe that water is not just essential for life—it’s a key to health and well-being. Our mission is to empower every employee with the knowledge and skills needed to educate our clients about the incredible benefits of alkaline and hydrogen water. In a world where the significance of water often goes unnoticed, we are committed to leading the charge and ensuring that our clients understand just how vital it is to their health.
We know that greatness comes from having the right people on our team. That’s why we pride ourselves on attracting the best talent in the industry, ready to meet the demands of the luxury water market in India. Our dealers and distributors are the backbone of KYK; their strength and dedication are what make our brand shine.
A significant force behind our vision to expand the KYK brand throughout the Indian subcontinent is our esteemed director, Mr. Akshit Agarwal. His leadership has propelled us to the forefront of the industry, making KYK one of India’s top-selling water brands. Mr. Agarwal’s journey began at Modern School, Barakhamba Road, followed by a Bachelor’s degree in Economics (Honours) from Hansraj College, New Delhi. He went on to earn a Master of Business Administration from IBS, where he excelled as a gold medalist in both Marketing and Finance. His thirst for knowledge took him further to South Korea, where he obtained a doctorate equivalent in Water Science and Research.
In 2013, Mr. Agarwal laid the foundation for KYK India. By 2016, we ventured boldly into the luxury water ionizer market, expanding our reach and forging a robust network of dealers, distributors, and dedicated offices across the country.
At KYK, we believe that building trust and fostering loyalty are essential. Our commitment to professionalism ensures that we provide an unparalleled experience that’s truly unique in the water industry.
