“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.

Disha Shah is the founder and owner of DiAi Designs. She learnt about lab-grown diamonds and was amazed by how environmentally friendly and affordable they are. She now uses her creativity in a way where she can make durable, everyday luxury without compromising on the designs. Her aim is to create designs that are stylish and modern, yet timeless and lab-grown diamonds were the way to go for that.

What is your wellness philosophy?

Blast some pumping music when you’re low and own it! A quick small self pep-talk can go a long way too.

Your success mantra?

Don’t give up. Work harder and smarter tomorrow.

A lesson you learned from making a mistake?

Account for every penny that goes in and out of your business.

Any piece of advice for all the women out there?

DON’T GIVE UP when the going gets tough. Keep going until you’ve achieved what you want. Also don’t wait for good luck or an opportunity to knock your door, keep hustling and it’ll come to you some day!

What has been your biggest pride as a doyenne?

Honestly, I don’t believe I’m a doyenne yet, but I’m definitely proud of the days I show up when I don’t feel like it!
