I began my career in Fashion Retail with Trent Limited- Westside Stores, right after graduating from NIFT — a decade spent leading teams, building private label brands, and chasing targets and achieveing goals. Then came a pause. I took a break to raise my family, and in that stillness, I found yoga. What started as a personal practice soon became a source of strength, clarity, and quiet confidence. Returning to the corporate world after nearly ten years, I was struck by how many brilliant minds were surviving on caffeine, stress, and speed. Everyone was achieving, but very few were aligned. That insight guided me to start Cityogini — a space to reconnect energy and excellence. Over the years, while teaching at The Yoga House and studying Ashtanga Yoga in Mysore, I deepened the philosophy behind it — blending yogic wisdom with modern performance. Later, during my Women’s Leadership Program at IIM Calcutta, I discovered how leadership, design, and wellbeing intertwine. When the pandemic hit and I was laid off, I didn’t lose direction — I rediscovered purpose. I joined Tata Cliq Luxury as Head of IndiLuxe, where I saw how energy drives innovation and how alignment fuels leadership. That’s when Cityogini evolved — from a personal project into a digital ecosystem for modern achievers. Today, I teach Design Innovation at NIFT, lead programs like The Energy-to-Richness Method™, and integrate Sound Healing, Chanting, and Meditation into structured, science-backed practices. I’ve lived both worlds — the driven and the drained — and I know this truth: You don’t have to choose between ambition and alignment. You can grow with grace — and lead with calm as your greatest strength.
