Sumaya Dalmia Founder, SUMAYA Sumaya Dalmia is renowned for her contribution towards changing the face of the Indian fitness industry over the last two decades. She has been one of the leading pioneers of the industry since 1997. An economics graduate from St. Stephen’s College, Delhi, her passion for sports led her to foray into the world of fitness as early as 1997. Backed with an MSc in Sports Science and various certifications from The American College of Sports Medicine (Pilates, Pre, and Postnatal fitness, Sports performance, kettlebell, exercise mechanics), she is a firm believer in tailormade training for every unique individual. She started her entrepreneurial journey with ‘SUMAYA’ – Delhi’s first state-of-the-art personal training studio. Since then, ‘SUMAYA’ is recognized as a leading homegrown wellness brand. She begins her day by planning her tasks and a cup of coffee. She says, “For me the biggest balance is to get rid of the emotion of guilt and to be able to cut off from work when I’m with my family and vice versa.” “Luxury is timeless.” Vibhuti Arora Founder, House of beauty & Face Yoga School Vibhuti Arora is a Delhi-based, face yoga and skintech expert with an aim to spread awareness on holistic beauty. With an MBA from UK, her goal was always to do something unique in beauty. However, things took an unexpected turn when she was diagnosed with an auto-immune skin disorder (Lupus) and her journey in face yoga started gaining depth. She started practicing Face Yoga 10 years ago with only limited and minimal knowledge available at that time. Her research done on healing oils as well as defining techniques not only helped her on an individual level but also helped others along her quest to control such disorders, thus giving birth to an entrepreneur and influencer. She also runs Face Yoga School India and has successfully certified multiple Face Yoga teachers all over the world. While Arora would love to live in Florence after retirement, her mantra for work life balance is meditation and aerial yoga. “I meditate to perform better each day, but lately my biggest switch off hack is aerial yoga! It improves my focus and helps me go blank at night.” “Make your own mistake, fall and follow your passion – because only then can your dreams turn to reality.” 36 | | 37
