Krushnaa's mother Ranjana Patil is a teacher with the DAV School and her father is in merchant navy. Ranjana Patil said, "We are proud and happy about the ambitions that our daughter has but I would like to add that what is tougher than the expedition was raising funds for the expedition. We approached many financial organisations as well as government bodies for financial assistance, but all of them denied support. The Chief Minister of Maharashtra had promised us a donation of Rs one lakh, but calculations changed post the Mumbai attacks." The family took a loan of Rs 30 lakh from Saraswat Bank especially for the expedition.
