Mirchandani: I am
Dimple Mirchandani, hailing from a business family. I did my schooling from Springdales
School, New Delhi, and then graduated from University of Manchester (United Kingdom)
in Accounting & Finance. After which I received training from Institute for
Integrative Nutrition, New York, where I studied with the world’s top health
& wellness experts, along with it I achieved certification in Astrology,
numerology & Tarot Reading. Being a hardcore athlete since childhood, I
have always been passionate about health & fitness, which led me to acquire
international certification in Yoga and a Diploma in sports Nutrition from
Oxford College. Other than this I love reading, travelling, cooking, music, and
writing. I started working for my family business upon graduating from college;
however my passion for doing new things led me to start my own ventures.

Who is your biggest influence in life?

Dimple
Mirchandani: I get
inspired by the wonders of nature around me every day; it mesmerizes me to no limit.
However, in person, my inspiration is MA, I always say that I am a reflection
of all that Ma is. One thing in particular I remember hearing from her every
day from my childhood is that “I will make sure that there is nothing that you
can’t learn or do” & “there is always a way, you just gotta find it”. Roots
of everything that I do today, definitely come from her.

What challenges do you face in your day to day professional life, if any?

Dimple
Mirchandani: Every
startup comes with a set of challenges of its own. A new venture never comes easy.
An entrepreneur has to face rigidity at every step, but I believe it’s necessary
to climb that ladder step by step in order to reach the top – only those who
believe in themselves and learn to be better from every experience are the ones
who make it there. I truly believe that challenges are good – they make you
work harder & there is nothing that cannot be done over with hard work and dedication.
