“For most of history, Anonymous was a woman.” ~ Virginia Woolf. On this International Women’s Day, GlobalSpa recognizes and celebrates the women in the industry as we delve into their success mantra they follow, mistakes that have helped them grow, and of course, their WELLNESS philosophy.

Aishwarya Nir Swarna is the Founder of Global Beauty Secrets, a wellness brand inspired by collective wisdom that seeks to revive beauty rituals with products enriched with high performance and natural ingredients.

What is your wellness philosophy?

I think it is pretty simple. I believe in holistic wellness and preventive healthcare. Which essentially implies that you focus on good nourishing lifestyle practices inspired by ancient wellness rituals (and if, of course, modern solutions or alternatives are available, resort to them too) to take care of our own selves.

Oneness of mind, body and soul is what counts.

Your success mantra?

Persistence is a solid skill set which any entrepreneur must learn and imbibe.

A lesson you learned from making a mistake?

Be honest about accepting your mistakes or you won’t learn from them, so it’s essential to recognise and take responsibility.

Any piece of advice for all the women out there?

Be brave

What has been your biggest pride as a doyenne?

I wouldn’t say it’s pride, but I would say it’s increased responsibility to our consumers and supporters.
