As one pulls up to the picturesque driveway attached to the elegant home of designer-entrepreneur Somya Namita Khurana, it becomes clear why she’s known as a fine curator of all things beautiful and luxurious. The charming hostess welcomes us into her lavish space, decorated with tasteful flowers, mirrors and plush interiors. Here, she holds court over her spirited friends clad in festive outfits in varying pastel hues from her label, ITSOM by Somya. The scene is set to ring in the festive season, and as it’s the first one post-pandemic, it promises to be decadent in every way.
Each of the seven ladies present is a changemaker in her own right. Apart from Somya, there’s Heba Zaidi Khosla, mother, educator and co-founder of Early Learning Village; Aanchal Jain, founder of Izzari Jewels; Lakshitaa Khanna, India’s first water sommelier; Reshma Malhotra Arora, entrepreneur and influencer; Chandni Girdhar; influencer and founder of e-commerce portal The Shiny Street and WynkMe cosmetics; and Sugandh Jolly, philanthropist, educator, investor in specialised higher education in the fields of art and design, car racing aficionado, and founder of GLO-A. Over bubbly and brunch, HELLO! chats with the ladies about their work, style, festive trends and much more!
How did you enter your chosen field? How has it evolved over the years? Somya Namita Khurana:
