10. India's Best Woman Entrepreneur Shaping the Beauty & Wellness Industry India's Best Woman Entrepreneur Shaping the Beauty & Wellness Industry S uccessful stories aren’t created by following a straight path—they’re crafted by resilience, determination, and the courage to face challenges head-on. In an industry like beauty and wellness, where trends change as swiftly as the wind, staying ahead demands more than just expertise. It requires an unyielding passion, a clear vision and the relentless drive to explore opportunities for growth. These are the qualities that define true industry leaders—leaders like Archana Sanghvi, the Founder and CEO of Plum and Sugar Salon. Founded in 2014, Plum and Sugar Salon has swiftly established itself as a trusted name in Bangalore’s beauty industry, known for its dedication to quality, innovation and personalized service. From hair treatments to massages, the salon provides a variety of services designed to enhance the client’s experience. However, the journey to establishing Plum and Sugar wasn’t smooth. It’s a story deeply connected to Archana’s own life—her dreams, her struggles and her ceaseless journey to the pinnacle. Growing up in a middle-class family where education was not considered of utmost importance, Archana’s schooling was cut short in the 11th grade—a moment that left her feeling shattered but also fueled her intent to support her family financially. “I aspired to become a business entrepreneur,” Archana reflects, “but opportunities were scarce.” Despite facing initial resistance, particularly from her husband who was hesitant about her entering the business world, Archana’s resolve never faltered. It wasn’t until her husband was struck by an illness, leaving a void in the management of their family salon. It was Archana who stepped in to lead the business. This unexpected responsibility allowed Archana to demonstrate her capabilities and ignited a deep passion for the beauty and wellness industry—a passion that continues to drive her today. Let’s read on to understand how Archana turned challenges into triumphs, building one of Bangalore’s leading salons while inspiring future entrepreneurs in the beauty and wellness industry! A Lifelong Fascination with Beauty From a young age, Archana was captivated by the world of beauty. Her fascination wasn’t just a passing interest; it was a deep admiration for the elegance and grace she saw in the models, stars and princesses on TV.

13. “I was especially inspired by Lady Diana,” she shares, reflecting on the profound impact the iconic figure had on her. “Her grace, style and the iconic freedom speech left a lasting impression on me.” This exposure to the transformative power of beauty stayed with Archana, shaping her aspirations and eventually leading her to establish Plum and Sugar Salon in 2014. When the opportunity finally arose, Archana channeled this lifelong passion into her business. Her vision for Plum and Sugar was clear: to create a space where clients could experience a transformation that revealed their best selves. The joy and surprise on clients’ faces, the reactions from their loved ones—these were the moments that fueled her passion. “It’s deeply rewarding to help people discover a version of themselves they never knew existed,” she says. The Rise to Prominence administra?ve tasks.‘‘ The journey to making Plum and Sugar one of the biggest salons in Bangalore was marked by a commitment to excellence that Archana instilled in every aspect of the business. From the very beginning, she was determined to give her all, ensuring that her salon stood out from the rest. “I focused on maintaining the highest standards of cleanliness, hygiene and discipline,” she explains. She led by example, often arriving before her staff and even taking on tasks like housekeeping to set the tone for the day. One key strategy that contributed to the salon’s growth was creating a warm, welcoming atmosphere for every client. Archana understood that the little things—greeting clients with a bright smile and offering them a welcome drink and a hot towel—made a big difference in how they perceived their experience. “We treated each client like a cherished guest in our home,” she notes, highlighting the personal touch that became a hallmark of Plum and Sugar. We invest in We invest in technology to reduce technology to reduce inefficiencies, allowing inefficiencies, allowing our team to focus more our team to focus more on delivering excellent on delivering excellent service rather than service rather than being bogged down by being bogged down by administra?ve tasks. Eco-Conscious Choices in the Salon Industry The beauty industry is often criticized for its environmental impact, but at Plum and Sugar, they are dedicated to making a change. The salon’s commitment includes using eco-friendly products that are vegan, cruelty-free, and sulfate-free, ensuring that beauty treatments do not come at the expense of the planet. Waste management is another priority, with hair cuttings repurposed for environmental causes and biodegradable towels reducing water consumption. The salon has also taken steps to reduce single-use plastics by opting for refillable dispensers and glass water bottles.

As an industry leader, I believe salons must take proactive steps to reduce their ecological impact while still delivering high-quality services.” monthly brainstorming sessions. A prime example of this balance is the launch of the Signature Custom Hair Ritual, which combines personalized care with a seamless operational process. By fostering an environment where creativity and efficiency coexist, Plum and Sugar maintains its reputation as both well-managed and trendsetting. The Backbone of Success Team Building and Employee Training One of the biggest challenges in the beauty and wellness industry is maintaining consistent quality across a wide range of services. At Plum and Sugar, this consistency is ensured by a dedicated and experienced team, many of whom have been with the salon for over a decade. “Remarkably, 80% of our staff have been with us for 14 to 15 years,” she points out. This longevity has allowed clients to enjoy the same trusted service each time they visit, fostering strong relationships between the team and clients. At Plum and Sugar Salon, maintaining high standards of service across all branches begins with a strong focus on team building and employee training. The salon adopts a structured yet dynamic approach to ensure that each team member, from junior stylists to senior professionals, aligns with the brand’s core values of excellence, innovation, and customer satisfaction. To keep the team at the lead of the industry, Archana invests heavily in continuous training. Staff members are regularly sent for specialized training, and expert trainers are invited to conduct in-house sessions at the salon. The training process starts with a comprehensive onboarding program that includes hands-on experience and mentorship from senior stylists. She emphasizes, “We believe in a culture of continuous learning, which is why we organize monthly workshops and training sessions led by industry experts.” These sessions focus on the latest trends in hair, skincare, beauty, and customer service strategies. This commitment to ongoing education ensures that the team is always up-to-date with the latest techniques and trends, allowing them to perform every service with precision and care. “Our focus on expertise and consistency is what sets Plum and Sugar apart,” she asserts, highlighting the dedication that has kept clients returning time and again. A key feature of Plum and Sugar’s training program is its rotational system, allowing team members to work across different branches, gaining diverse client preferences and developing adaptable service approaches. Additionally, an internal mentorship program helps refine technical skills and problem-solving abilities, fostering community within the team. Balancing Operations with Creativity Running a large salon involves balancing operational challenges with staying innovative, a task Plum and Sugar Salon excels at through a dual-focus approach. On the operational side, streamlined processes, like automated appointment scheduling and centralized inventory management, ensure smooth daily operations. As she points out, “We invest in technology to reduce inefficiencies, allowing our team to focus more on delivering excellent service rather than being bogged down by administrative tasks.” This operational efficiency frees up time for creativity. The team is encouraged to explore global trends, experiment with new techniques, and share ideas during To motivate staff to consistently deliver top-tier service, the salon has implemented incentive programs, ensuring that every client enjoys an exceptional experience across all locations. Innovation on the Horizon Plum and Sugar has built a reputation as an industry pioneer, introducing advanced treatments that set it apart

For example, the salon was the first in the city to offer services like digital perming and the Korean hair spa. “We pride ourselves on being industry pioneers, and our commitment to being at the forefront of the beauty industry drives us to explore and adopt the newest trends from around the world,” she shares. To ensure that Plum and Sugar continue to deliver the best, Archana personally travels to beauty hubs like China, Singapore and Korea twice a year. These trips are not just about exploring new styles and technologies but also about importing the latest equipment directly from these countries. This hands-on approach ensures that clients receive top-tier treatments that meet global standards. “By continually seeking out and embracing the latest advancements, we remain a trendsetter,” she notes, emphasizing the salon’s dedication to offering unmatched services to its clients. services.‘‘ ‘‘ A Legacy Venture The success of Plum and Sugar also signifies the power of family collaboration. Archana works alongside her daughters, Anjali, an internationally certified artist, and Roshni, a certified fitness expert. This collaboration enhances the salon’s offerings, allowing for a holistic approach to beauty and wellness. “Both my daughters have chosen their respective fields and are doing exceptionally well,” she says with pride. The teamwork between their businesses is evident, as they often share clientele and upsell services to each other’s clients. As an industry leader, I As an industry leader, I believe salons must believe salons must take proac?ve steps to take proac?ve steps to reduce their ecological reduce their ecological impact while s?ll impact while s?ll delivering high-quality delivering high-quality services. For instance, Roshni, who runs her brand, Dermatonik, often works with Plum and Sugar clients on hair regrowth treatments or skin treatments. Similarly, she refers clients struggling with chronic diseases to Anjali, who leads a team of doctors, coaches, and dietitians. “Being a one-stop solution for various problems truly helps us all grow,” she observes. Tailoring Services to Client Needs With a base of over 500 clients, Archana personally knows many of these clients. This engagement allows her to understand their unique needs and offer tailored suggestions that align with their beauty goals. “We believe in offering a deeply personalized experience for every client,” she says, emphasizing the importance of building strong relationships.

20. This commitment to personalization extends to creating customized packages that cater to each client’s specific needs. Whether it’s a package designed to fit within a budget or one that includes complimentary services like pedicures or special memberships, Plum and Sugar goes the extra mile to ensure clients feel valued. “By focusing on individual needs, we build lasting relationships and ensure that every visit is a uniquely satisfying experience,” she explains, underlining the salon’s dedication to customer satisfaction. supports each other like a family. Despite concerns about the salon’s 11 PM closing time, stringent safety policies have been implemented to ensure a secure environment for both clients and staff. “Our strong team bonding and mutual support contribute to our success,” she notes, adding that many staff members have stayed with the salon long-term, a reflection of the positive work culture she has cultivated. Symbolism and Philosophy The Power of Customer Feedback The brand identity of Plum and Sugar incorporates the symbolism of a plum winter tree, a choice that reflects the salon’s business philosophy of resilience and grace. In the harshness of winter, the plum tree stands out as a symbol of enduring beauty and strength, qualities that resonate deeply with Archana’s approach to business. “The plum tree never fades despite the cold, and this symbolizes our commitment to providing exceptional service, no matter the challenges,” she explains. Customer feedback is the foundation of our service refinement and innovation. At the salon, we view feedback not just as a review but as an opportunity for growth and improvement. “We have multiple channels for collecting client insights, including digital reviews, post-service surveys, and direct client conversations,” she shares. A notable change based on feedback was the introduction of an express service line. Many clients, especially working professionals, requested quicker services without compromising quality. This led to the creation of an express service menu, featuring quick blowouts, express manicures, and grooming treatments, which boosted client satisfaction and retention. The choice of this symbolism was particularly meaningful for Archana, as it was suggested by her daughter, Roshni. “Her creativity and positive mindset have inspired many aspects of our salon,” she shares, emphasizing the importance of family influence in her business decisions. The plum winter tree perfectly embodies the salon’s dedication to thriving and delivering excellence, serving as a constant reminder of the values that guide Plum and Sugar in every aspect of its work. The Reality of Being a Woman Entrepreneur As a woman entrepreneur in the beauty and wellness industry, Archana has faced her share of unique challenges. Managing police visits for routine checks, particularly concerning massage services, has been one such challenge. While these inspections can be uncomfortable, she has always ensured compliance with all regulations, maintaining a commitment to gender-specific treatments to uphold respect and professionalism. “It’s important to stay resilient and professional, even in the face of such challenges,” she reflects. Words of Wisdom As a successful woman entrepreneur in a competitive industry, Archana has valuable advice for those looking to make their mark, especially women aspiring to enter the beauty and wellness field. Her first piece of advice is to embrace independence and self-belief. “Trust in your ability to succeed and stay dedicated to your goals,” she advises, emphasizing the importance of hard work and perseverance. Archana acknowledges that the journey is not always easy, often requiring long hours and sacrifices, but she stresses the importance of finding fulfillment and satisfaction in one’s work. Another challenge has been balancing management duties, especially when working alongside family. While this dynamic can present difficulties, she has focused on fostering a collaborative environment where the team

Financial stability is important, but she believes that the true reward lies in the impact one makes and the joy derived from the work. “Stay focused on your vision, remain adaptable, and continuously seek growth opportunities,” she encourages, emphasizing the need for passion and commitment in driving success. Expanding Horizons and Innovating Service Offerings Plum and Sugar Salon is ready for significant growth, with plans to expand both within Bangalore and to other key metropolitan cities. However, expansion is not just about increasing the number of locations—it’s about maintaining the same high standards and exceptional client experience across every branch. To further elevate the brand, Plum and Sugar will soon launch the Plum and Sugar Academy, a training institute designed to bridge the skill gap in the beauty industry.

25. The Benefits of Switching to Organic S k i n c a r e for Sensitive Skin eople who have sensitive skin must deal with P dryness together with unpredictable product reactions. Organic skincare presents itself as an answer to those who seek solutions for their skincare needs. Organic products maintain natural ingredients without synthetic additives or harsh chemicals thus creating a gentle skincare solution which correspond with your skin's biological requirements. The removal of synthetic skincare products from your routine will improve your skincare experience and result in lasting benefits for sensitive skin. continuous struggles. Individuals with sensitive skin face regular bouts of redness as well as irritation and The following list demonstrates the value of this transition. Getting to Know Sensitive Skin The normal reaction of sensitive skin occurs more severely when exposed to environmental factors and stress and skincare ingredients. Your skin reacts negatively to synthetic fragrances along with alcohol sulfates and preservatives which include parabens. The skin barrier loses moisture due to these substances which leads to irritation and inflammation. The symptoms which include skin redness along with itching and burning and flaking make the search for appropriate products very challenging. For sensitive skin minimal ingredients paired with gentle formulas along with products deriving from natural sources usually provide the best outcomes. The production of organic skin care takes sensitivity to skin health into consideration. Minimal processing of plant- derived ingredients enables organic products to avoid April 2025 InsightsCare 23

26. ingredients that cause skin irritation. Organic skin care products must pass certification requirements which ensure the absence of pesticide-treated ingredients and synthetic fertilizers to reduce reaction possibilities. ingredients. Small-batch operation and proper storage (such as storing products in cool, dry areas) reduce this problem. Making the Transition Feeding with Natural Ingredients Transitioning to organic skin care must be done with care. Begin by substituting one product, such as your cleanser or moisturizer, to see how your skin reacts. Choose products that bear certifications such as USDA Organic, ECOCERT, or Soil Association to guarantee authenticity. Patch-test new products since even natural constituents can be irritating in exceptional instances (e.g., essential oils in some users). Phasedy eliminate standard products to prevent overwhelm- ing your skin with too many alterations at the same time. Organic skin care products are most concerned with their beneficial ingredients rather than their absence of ingredients. The skin of sensitive individuals receives nourishment through natural ingredients including organic shea butter and jojoba oil and rosehip oil because these elements contain vitamins antioxidants and fatty acids that nourish the skin without creating suffocation. Skin's natural oils receive duplication through these natural ingredients that also help restore the barrier function to hold moisture inside. For instance, organic aloe vera is a force to be reckoned with for soothing inflammation, while lavender essential oil (in low, skin-safe concentrations) can alleviate redness and calm the skin. Visiting a dermatologist will also be helpful, particularly if you have conditions such as rosacea or eczema. They can guide you to appropriate organic brands according to your requirement, making it an easy shift. Online forums and reviews on sites such as X can provide real-life tips from people who have sensitive skin and have shifted to organic. Eco-Friendly and Ethical Advantages Long-Term Rewards Switching to organic skincare isn't just better for your skin—it's better for the planet as well. Organic farming practices keep soil healthy, promote biodiversity, and reduce chemical run-off, which are more sustainable compared to conventional farming practices. It's also standard for most organic companies to adopt ethical sourcing, fair trade, and cruelty-free testing, which adhere to values that conscious consumers support. For individuals with sensitive skin, being able to see that your products do not contain any animal-based ingredients like lanolin (an allergen) is another comfort. The advantages of organic skincare on sensitive skin are more than temporary. Used regularly, you should find fewer breakouts, smoother texture, and a healthier glow. Your skin relies less on harsh actives, drawing on its own strength instead. The knowledge that your products are clean and ethically produced is the bonus benefit, your routine being a form of self-care that glows inside as well as out. In a world of endless skincare options, organic products stand out for their simplicity and integrity. For sensitive skin, they offer a path to calm, healthy skin without the constant guesswork. By embracing organic skincare, you’re not just treating your skin—you’re investing in its future, one gentle ingredient at a time. Addressing Common Concerns Some hesitate to switch to organic skincare due to myths about efficacy or cost. Although organic products may be more expensive, their dense formulas typically leave you applying less per use. And money spent on good skincare can save you down the line on treatment for the side effects of reactions or trips to the dermatologist. Effectiveness- wise, research indicates that plant-based actives such as niacinamide (in organic ingredients like wheatgrass) or licorice root are on par with synthetic actives in soothing inflammation and lightening skin—without the drawbacks. - Nisha Mehra Shelf life is another problem.
