“A wonderful piece of writing. I never imagined that our conversation would produce something that so vividly revived nostalgic memories.”
Chandima G.
Private Legacy Commission
Before the stories are forgotten...
There comes a time when we realise the details matter.
The stories told at kitchen tables.
The journeys that began elsewhere.
The decisions that shaped a family.
Akuru preserves lives with care through privately commissioned memoirs and biographies, crafted to endure.
For Families Who Value Legacy
Akuru biographies are often commissioned for:
- Retirement tributes
- Anniversaries
- Family legacy preservation
- Migration stories
- Personal reflection projects
- Entrepreneurial journeys
While many clients are based in the UK, biographies are commissioned internationally and interviews may be conducted in person or remotely.

A Private Investment in Legacy
Each biography is written personally by Rika Chandra following a series of in-depth conversations. Every commission is tailored depending on narrative depth, research, location, and print specifications.
Not every story begins with a full commission. Legacy Writing Consultation is available from £225 for those wishing to begin shaping their own story.
