“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.

Shweta Shridhar is the co-founder of The Table Fable, a designer tableware brand that strives to create unique and exquisite pieces of crockery which can adorn the tables at your home.

What is your wellness philosophy?

Wellness to me means living my happiest, healthiest life, and that doesn’t always mean eating organic food or exercising five times a week. If you are happy doing what you are doing, you are ‘well-off’!

Your success mantra?

There is no substitute for hard work.

A lesson you learned from making a mistake?

Being open to challenges and taking a new path when needed. While it is essential to have a plan and go by the same, sometimes it is needed to leave the plan and try out new ways, new paths, take on the challenges thrown your way and see that the result is even better than we had wanted it to be!

What has been your biggest pride as a doyenne?

Don’t confine yourself to the stereotypes created by society for you. Work hard, take risks and don’t be afraid to pursue your dreams and ambitions.

What has been your biggest pride as a doyenne?

To see my brand ‘The Table Fable’ going places. Hearing great feedback about the products and customer service just fills my heart with pride and makes all the effort worthwhile.
