Vandana Khosla Co-Founder and Creative Director, ELVY Vandana Khosla, founder and creative director of Elvy, foresaw back in 2006 how interiors would take centrestage in commercial design. Her time working with Talati and Panthaky Associated Designers, a lifetime spent traveling to exotic destinations around the globe, and a keen entrepreneurial mind showed her that the Indian market lacked a curated selection of decor and lifestyle products for the discerning buyer. She initially conceptualised Elvy as a mail-order catalogue, pioneering the model in India, where people still relied solely on brick and mortar stores to shop. Today, she has grown Elvy to five strategically located stores in Delhi NCR, Ludhiana, and Hyderabad. Elvy’s collection has grown to offer items from over 12 countries, each promising the brand’s signature hallmark of quality and elegance. She ensures that Elvy’s buyers are able to choose from a wide product portfolio, including tableware, crystalware, home decor, to even outdoor accessories. To begin her day Khosla she says, “Practice mindfulness or meditation: Taking a few moments “In today’s digital age, it’s important to set boundaries with technology to avoid constant work-related interruptions and maintain a healthy work-life balance.” to quiet the mind, focus on the present moment, and cultivate gratitude can promote mental clarity and reduce stress. Creating a to-do list or using time management techniques, such as the Pomodoro Technique, can help structure your day and boost productivity. Read or learn something new: Dedicate time to reading books, articles, or blogs that inspire personal or professional growth.” AUTOMOBILES 24 | | 25
