In the pulsating world of business, one name shines the brightest: Jayanti Khan Chauhan. As the Vice Chairperson of Bisleri International Private Limited, she commands boardrooms with grace and authority, but there’s so much more to this style dynamo. Brought up in a broad-minded, multicultural environment, she believes that gender has no bearing on business. In fact, as the daughter of prominent industrialist Ramesh Chauhan, Jayanti was encouraged to travel, instilling in her the quality of adaptability. A trained photographer and stylist, she’s also the creative vision behind the various shoots at her company. HELLO! sits down with the multitalented entrepreneur, who’s certainly a name to reckon with today.

You have worked your way to the top, beginning your training on the shop floor at Bisleri International. Today as Vice Chairperson, tell us about your journey… After returning from Europe, I sought a new challenge. A visit to Bisleri factories in Delhi sparked my interest in manufacturing. Guided by the production team, I learned about bottle production and water testing. Joining the sales team on truck routes provided insights into market conduct and copacker roles. I collaborated with HR, hiring employees who have stayed with the company to this day. Moving to Mumbai, I discovered Vedica, a brand with untapped potential. With strategic changes, including new designs and expanded offerings like Vedica Sparkling, it has flourished. Our dedicated team and expanded channels have propelled Vedica’s growth beyond expectations.
