Krittika Banerjee

Krittika Banerjee is the Co-Founder of TrustED and leads the organisation’s wellbeing and behaviour practice across India and the Middle East. With a two-decade career spanning broadcasting, diplomatic missions, and global corporate leadership, she brings a rare combination of communication clarity, operational rigour, and emotional intelligence to school transformation.

Driven by a mission to help schools build cultures where students thrive and teachers feel supported, Krittika specialises in turning wellbeing from a broad aspiration into a simple, daily practice through Switch4Schools. She works closely with school owners, principals, and leadership teams to bring structure, alignment, and consistency to wellbeing and classroom behaviour — ensuring that emotional wellbeing is measurable, sustainable, and connected to teaching and learning.

Known for her calm authority and her ability to work with diverse teams, she brings a grounded, practical understanding of how schools truly function. Her focus is on helping schools create environments where every child feels a sense of belonging, every teacher feels empowered, and excellence becomes the natural outcome of a strong, emotionally intelligent school culture.
