Description
We are in December – the time to let your hair down and enjoy the nip in the air! Before the year 2017 draws to an end, we are inclined to retrospect and rewind the good times, people who have enriched our lives, our personal and professional achievements, knowledge of our strengths and weakness, to name a few. We want to extend our gratitude to each and every person who has encouraged us to push our boundaries in pursuit of our goals, and want them to continue to do so in 2018. These role models from every quarter of our lives set examples with their enthusiasm and dedication in whatever they do, and our hair, beauty and wellness industry is no exception.
The phrase ‘looks of a winner’ stands true for some of our industry veterans. They start young and when others are waking up, they are inching closer to their version of success. Bestowed with intangible qualities such as clear foresight, an inclination to be perfect in their craft and an enormous capacity for hard work, their determination to excel gives them edge, and in no time, they become role models for millions of aspirants. We handpick such power-packed professionals, who are today mega brands in their own right. They are driving the business with their passion and zeal to change perceptions, and put India’s rewarding industry on the world map.
