“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.

Urshila Rao Ganji is the Founder & Creative Head of OG & Co, a sustainable luxury athleisure brand made from Hemp bamboo and more.

What is your wellness philosophy?

I always make sure to workout for my mind rather than for my body. It makes me feel positive. My mother has always made sure we grew up with a positive mindset, and that has worked miracles.

Your success mantra?

Staying true can come with a lot of things, but that’s the best way to go about anything and everything, in my opinion. As long as our intentions are clear and efforts are honest, I feel that leads to success not only in a career, but in multiple ways.

A lesson you learned from making a mistake?

That we will keep making mistakes- it’s to know what to learn and what to let go from the experience. I always introspect on mistakes, but it’s important to make changes and be easy on them.

What has been your biggest pride as a doyenne?

I would like to advise everyone to not be afraid to put your opinion or choices out, without fearing any judgment. Be authentic to yourself.

What has been your biggest pride as a doyenne?

I mostly work with women and that gives me a lot of strength. Pride can be misunderstood, but making my family proud is everything to me.
