“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.

Arunisha Sengupta is the Founder of Mumbai-based fashion brand Choli Boli that offers a range of trendy, ergonomically fitting statement blouses for attitude and style.

What is your wellness philosophy?

My wellness philosophy is a combination of my heart and head. When my heart feels happy & excited, and my head is buzzing my ideas with a sense of purpose, then I am feeling most well.

Your success mantra?

Discipline is the key to success. Break your dreams into byte sized, palatable components which are easy to achieve.

A lesson you learned from making a mistake?

Keep a few cards close to your chest. Do not reveal all your plans to every other person. This lesson is actually working best for me. There is a surprise element which could be pleasant to many.

Any piece of advice for all the women out there?

While nothing is impossible for you, you should also have a voice of protest. Even if your voice is shaky and feeble, if you are standing with the truth but are alone, yet you should voice your protest.

What has been your biggest pride as a doyenne?

I am not a doyenne as yet, there are many milestones to achieve till the journey is completed, but my biggest pride is when buyers of CHOLI BOLI tell me that they love my product and feel most comfortable wearing my saree tops.
