-  JEENA J BILLIMORIA

Team HELLO! has taken a comfortable flight from Mumbai and just landed in one of the most culturally nourishing and vibrant hotspots in the world — Singapore. We’ve arrived here for our latest shoot with five warm, sophisticated career women, who now call this beautiful place home.

We leave our hotel at the famed Orchard Road to drive to a beautiful home in Sentosa’s exclusive residential area, where we’re met with the ladies of the hour: Founder and Creative Head of Ren Home Design Renu Chainani; anesthetist Natasha Ghadiali; CoFounder of Artitude Home Raveena Anand; Founder and Creative Director of floral company BasketCase, Gayatree Gupta; Head of Search Ads 360 Southeast Asia, Google, Ridhi Kumar; and Pamela Puja Kirpalani, neuro-linguistic programming life coach and author of Whole:11 Universal Truths For An Inspired Life.

Each of these fashionable women take great pride in their work. But what is perhaps most noticeable of them as a group is how they celebrate the true friendship they share by sturdily supporting and encouraging one another. We waste no further time and dive into conversation to get to know these ladies better…

Tell us a little about your personal and professional journey that has led you to where you are today.
