Whether art or writing or fashion or anything else, moving from having a passion to creating a successful business is a long journey. Jainee Gandhi shares her experience as a fashion entrepreneur.
Many of us have an interest in fashion and may be extremely well dressed too; but Jainee Gandhi believes that fashion is more than just a passion or even a hobby.
In her case, she moved from being a fashionista to someone who saw a need gap in the market and moved in to address it. Image Consulting is still a very nascent industry in India, and Jainee’s talk (video below) takes us through that it means to be an image consultant.
More importantly, she talks about how she identified not one, but two different market needs, and has now launched a second business too.
Jainee began by consulting with individuals and organisations on branding themselves through their visual presentation, but has now also entered the women’s apparel market with Indie Attire, a work wear brand that is Indian, and caters to those who want to wear smart Indian clothes to the office.
Personally, I loved her tip at the end of the video – very simple, but so important especially for women entrepreneurs – that we need to believe in ourselves and consider our own work as important, before others will.

UP Boards Topper Prachi Nigam was trolled on social media for her facial hair; our obsession with appearance is harsh on young minds.
Prachi Nigam’s photo has been doing the rounds on social media for the right reasons. Well, scratch that- I wish the above statement were true. This 15-year-old girl should ideally be revelling in her spectacular achievement of scoring a whopping 98.05% and topping her tenth-grade boards. But oddly enough, along with her marks, it’s something else that garners more attention – her facial hair.
While the trolls are driving themselves giddy by mocking this girl who hasn’t even completed her school yet, the ones who are taking her side are going one step ahead – they are sharing her photoshopped pictures, sans the facial hair, looking nothing less than a celebrity with captions saying – “Prachi Nigam, ten years later”.
Doctors have already diagnosed her with PCOD in their comments, based on photographic evidence. While we have names for people shamed for their weight – body shaming, for their skin colour- racism, for their age- age shaming, for being a female- sexism, this category of shaming where one faces criticism for their appearance has no name. With that, it also has zero shame attached to it.
