aiShwarya Sawarna nir
Founder - Global Beauty Secrets A graduate from Jai Hind College, Mumbai, Aishwarya pursued her Post Graduation in Journalism and Mass Communication from Xavier’s Institute of Communication, Mumbai. After a short stint at Times of India and CNBC TV 18, Aishwarya joined the family business in June 2016 as Director of the Aishwarya Group and went on to curate Global Beauty Secrets. Vision: I think one interesting conversation that is gaining popularity in the wellness industry is the concept of holistic beauty and I am glad the outlook on beauty is changing from just looking good, to feeling good inside out. People are beginning to understand that beauty is the oneness of mind, body, and soul. I think that as an industry and as a collective, we must strive to help people achieve this state through our products or services.
