“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.

Shilpa Khanna Thakkar is the CEO of Chicnutrix, India’s all woman wellness and nutrition brand.

What is your wellness philosophy?

Do not underestimate the power of hydration paired with the right nutrient supplements. For me, wherever I go, I carry a bottle of Super C or Chicnutrix Glow. It’s my hassle-free, healthy secret to make sure I look and feel my best.

Your success mantra?

Successful women support each other! As the founder of a brand made for women and by women, I have learned that women when they join forces are an invincible strength.

A lesson you learned from making a mistake?

I grew up with imperfect skin. I grew up getting advice from so many experts, none of which worked for me. I made so many mistakes trying to use topical solutions to solve my problem. It was this journey of mistakes that led me to learn that the only solution to regain my outer glow was to replenish my nutrients from within.

Any piece of advice for all the women out there?

You are only limited by your own thoughts. There is nothing a woman, wife, or mother can’t do. Visualize your success and you will actualize it.

What has been your biggest pride as a doyenne?

I am really proud to be able to now normalize conversations that earlier women would shy away from, like UTI, PCOS, Post-Partum Hairfall, etc. Today, thanks to easy solutions, women are empowered to help themselves and not feel humiliated by these common women concerns.
