“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.

Mahima Gupta is the Co-Founder of Bhu botanicals. At Bhu, they craft natural, safe, effective and honest skincare products with highly researched actives, plant extracts and naturally occurring earth minerals.

What is your wellness philosophy?

Wellness for me is happiness. One can be happy in any form. If you are happy, health follows! At Bhu, we give special importance to self-love. We truly believe it is the way to be!

Your success mantra?

Transparency, Commitment to Quality and the Value of Relationship with our clients are the core values of ‘Bhu’ and they have proved to be our major success factors!

A lesson you learned from making a mistake?

There are many! As a start-up you discover something new every day, some of these are hard hitting! Initially we used to be really bogged down if something would go wrong, but we have learnt that most things are correctable & can be worked upon!

Any piece of advice for all the women out there?

We all have something or the other in us. Working women are not always the happiest and home makers are not always the saddest! Don’t compare yourself to someone. Find what that ‘something’ is for you that makes you happy! Know that you are special to so many around you! If you love yourself already, a big thumbs up, if you don’t – find a reason to do so.

What has been your biggest pride as a doyenne?

I don’t think I am entitled to be called a doyenne yet! However, what makes us special is the earnestness towards what we do and the intention behind Bhu! Our clients have stories to tell about their skin, I think what makes us stand out is that, we are always there to listen to them.
