Founder’s Note

Flaming Forge is the creative home of Shrilekha, who believes in the magic of words. From authoring children's books filled with courage, joy, and mischief — to unraveling the mysteries of AI and automation — her journey is fueled by curiosity and wonder.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow wrote in the poem The Village Blacksmith about the flaming forge of life —

— and it felt only fitting to name this space Flaming Forge: a place to spark ideas into being.

Her work also extends into the realm of technology consulting — where she guides businesses through AI, Automation, and Observability strategy, helping them transform digitally and stay future-ready.

When not flourishing a Quill or indulging in Consulting, you’ll find her pottering about in sunny gardens, lost in a book, or crafting tiny worlds, most often with her niece. A lifelong lover of Enid Blyton, Wodehouse, Eva Ibbotson, Edgar Wallace, and classic literature, she blends mischief, wisdom, and rich imagination into everything she does.
