A popular diet these days is the Keto diet. The Keto diet is a low carb and high fat diet which limits many tasty options like bread, pasta, and crackers. Crackers are a wonderful food because you can do so much with it like eating it with dips or toppings or by itself as a snack or just getting that satisfying crunch. A young girl named Nyah Kshatriya was made aware of this dilemma of not having tasty Keto friendly crackers and so she set out to create the perfect keto cracker.
Over the summer of her senior year in high school, Nyah decided that she wanted to get a job to 
earn some money. Her parents approved but said that she should consider an employment where she could learn skills that could benefit her later in life rather than learning the skills necessary for the minimum wage jobs. During that time, Nyah’s mother was on the Keto diet and challenged her daughter to create something similar to the beloved cracker but still have the healthy low carb Keto element. Nyah opted to create a cracker instead of a minimum wage employment. After many attempts, Nyah produced the perfect cracker. The cracker only consists of three ingredients and unlike the other Keto crackers that are in the market, this cracker does not contain the unknown ingredients. Once she completed the cracker, Nyah wanted to test whether her cracker would be liked among the Keto population. Using Instagram, Nyah sent her cracker to Keto people to taste test. The Keto people loved it and so started Keto Cracker.
Although Keto Cracker has been a success, Nyah still has challenges to face. Like many other
young business entrepreneurs, many people do not take her seriously because of her age. Also, since her was still in high school during the start of her business, she had the SATs, ACTs, AP exams and applying to colleges to balance with her business. But through it all, Nyah has excellent mentors to guide her with her business.
That is amazing that a high schooler created a business that ended up on grocery store shelves. It shows that age does not hinder one from creating a business or creating change.
This story is a great example of how age is not an obstacle for innovation. She was able to make a great business selling keto crackers. She successfully filled a niche in the market and innovated by making something that had ever been made before, keto crackers with known ingredients.
Nyah shows how not everyone desires a standardized minimum wage job like she avoided by creating Keto Crackers. Her age makes her accomplishments even more amazing, because she had to overcome a lot of hesitation to get there. She was able to find a market that needed improved and create that change which is a major challenge for entrepreneurs. Ultimately, Nyah is an inspiration because she was able to become successful so young.
Being on the Keto diet myself, I know how frustrating it is when you want to eat a cracker at a party and have to second-guess yourself. Those who struggle with finding dietary substitutes are always looking for a new product, and it is wonderful that Nyah was able to produce one. Keeping her product simple by only having it composed of three ingredients helps with its creation, and it is nice to see the public respond so well to the work of a young entrepreneur.
