Things were difficult for Akansha at home right from when she was a child. Her father Vasant Dikshit was in a clerical job in a semi-government office. His post was supposed to get permanent, he waited patiently to get his job converted into government, years passed but nothing happened. He craved to have a government job and just when it was about to happen, he suffered paralysis and was fired from the job. Akansha was just in primary school then, she was a bright student and good at everything. She has an extraordinary skill to teach, it was first recognized by her school teacher who noticed her interest in teaching kids younger than her.

When all the kids played during breaks, Akansha spent her breaks in lower sections teaching them, and she was extremely good at it. Her teacher asked Akansha's parents to send her to her house to help her in teaching kids, and in return, she used to pay Akansha's school fees, prepare her for olympiads, and also offer monthly allowance to her. That's how Akansha started her first job when she was just a kid.
