Founder Story

THE STORY BEHIND CITYOGINI — AND THE WOMAN WHO BUILT IT Where Corporate Discipline Meets Yogic Stillness — The Story Behind The Energy-to-Richness Method™ I began my career in fashion retail with Trent Limited after graduating from NIFT — a journey that grew into a decade of remarkable success and learning across business, design, and leadership. Those years shaped my drive, discipline, and confidence — but also taught me how easily ambition can outpace wellbeing. Then came a pause. I took a break to raise my family, and in that space, yoga found me. The mat became my mirror — rebuilding my strength, restoring balance, and reconnecting me to the stillness I had long ignored. When I returned to the corporate world after nearly ten years, the picture was the same everywhere: brilliant professionals surviving on caffeine, anxiety, and adrenaline. People who had achieved everything — except peace. That realization gave birth to Cityogini™ — a bridge between performance and presence. I began teaching at The Yoga House, trained in K. Pattabhi Jois Ashtanga Yoga Institute in Mysore, and started sharing the science of discipline and energy with others. Later, through the Women’s Leadership Program at IIM Calcutta, I saw how deeply leadership and wellbeing are intertwined. When the pandemic hit, I was laid off. That moment could have broken me — instead, it became a reawakening. I stayed consistent, open, and aligned. The universe responded. Soon after, I joined Tata Cliq Luxury as Head of IndiLuxe, where I learned how brands — and people — scale through energy, not effort. That’s where The Energy-to-Richness Method™ was reborn: a structured path to help leaders convert their calm into clarity, and their clarity into consistent success. Today, through Cityogini™, I blend 15+ years of experience across business, design, and wellness — combining movement, breath, sound, and mindset into tools that help achievers reset their inner state and rise with rhythm. Because leadership isn’t about doing more — it’s about being aligned enough to know what truly matters.
