“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.

Surbhi Chawla is the Founder of FITKIN, a homegrown, premium athleisure brand that champions the goal of making fitness an affordable and attainable lifestyle.

What is your wellness philosophy?

My wellness philosophy is early to bed, early to rise, followed by a short but consistent workout regime. Also, incorporating balanced meals into my day.

Your success mantra?

Hard work has no replacement. Hard work and faith in your pursuit.

A lesson you learned from making a mistake?

Never take anything for granted. Assumptions need to have pre-tested data to follow.

Any piece of advice for all the women out there?

Have your priorities right and a deaf ear to naysayers.

Follow your heart and believe in your dreams.

What has been your biggest pride as a doyenne?

I have been able to empower other women and help them further in their careers and personal lives.
