“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.

Meghna Kishore & Barkha Bhatnagar Das are the founders of Greendigo, a Mumbai-based organic clothing brand for kids. The duo believes in making eco-friendly and sustainable choices in their day-to-day life.

What is your wellness philosophy?

Wellness to me means living my happiest, healthiest life and that doesn’t always mean eating healthy food or exercising five times a week. It’s also about prioritizing rest and giving into indulgences once in a while. A slice of chocolate cake, a relaxing spa session, and a Netflix binge marathon also find their way in me enjoying life to the fullest. As long as the cake and TV are in moderation, of course!

Your success mantra?

Push the boundaries, step outside of your comfort zone, and don’t be afraid to try something even if it hasn’t been done before.

A lesson you learned from making a mistake?

We should appreciate and celebrate ourselves for always trying and then analyse our mistakes, honestly and objectively.

Any piece of advice for all the women out there?

Trust your instincts and embrace the qualities which make you unique. Never be afraid to put forth your ideas.

What has been your biggest pride as a doyenne?

Through Greendigo, I pride myself in enabling access to safe, nontoxic and internationally certified organic cotton baby wear to young parents who want only the highest quality clothing for their little ones.
