womanthismonth.com | JULY 2025 IN HER SHOES 74 IN HER SHOES This month, we take a walk in the shoes of Nidhi Jain, Area Head at VLCC, who shares her daily rituals, impactful moments and the philosophies that guide her leadership in the wellness industry. How do you start your day? I always begin with a moment of mindfulness and a cup of green tea, followed by some cardio. It sets the tone for productivity and positivity before I dive into emails and plan the day ahead. If your job were a skincare product, what would it be? It would be the VLCC multi-action serum – addressing multiple concerns at once, bringing out the best in every situation and nourishing the entire team. My role, like a serum, requires consistency, adaptability and impact. What’s one beauty trend you wish never existed? I really wish we could do away with harmful quick-fix fads and extreme DIY skincare or haircare hacks from the internet. True beauty is about longterm wellness, not shortcuts. What’s the most unforgettable client moment you’ve experienced? There was a woman who came to us in a deeply vulnerable state – struggling with obesity, hormonal imbalances, depression and infertility after 12 years of trying. We developed a holistic, medically guided plan for her, and over two years, she lost 60 kilos, regained her health and conceived naturally. That moment was life-changing for all of us. It reminded me that wellness isn’t skin deep – it’s transformative. How has your own career transformed? Moving from a structured corporate setting to the dynamic world of wellness was a major shift. It taught me to merge strategy with empathy and emotional intelligence. What’s your leadership style in a sentence? Lead with purpose, act with empathy, deliver with excellence. I believe in inspiring, not instructing. How do you unwind after a long day? A long walk followed by my skincare and haircare routine helps me reset. I also take a few quiet moments to reflect with gratitude. What’s a skincare myth that needs to go? That expensive means better. What really works is consistency, professional guidance and balance – not price tags. What would you be doing if not this? I’d be coaching young professionals or running a wellness retreat in the mountains. I love helping people grow. What advice do you always share with newcomers to the industry? Stay authentic, keep learning and lead with empathy. Clients seek confidence and care, not just treatments. Nidhi Jain Area Head of VLCC Watch the Video
