From growing up in Dubai to making it big in India, Dr. Leena S. is grateful for whatever she has achieved but definitely not content. She always believed that her destiny awaited her back in India as her passion for nail art developed here. A good manicure and pedicure routine was the secret ingredient to her no-stress persona which eventually became a viable business idea. An idea which bore fruits and earned her respect and recognition. Dr. Leena S. aspired for the dental profession to help people but upon the realization that people might suffer from dental ailment only once or twice in a year, she transitioned from being a dentist to being an entrepreneur which eventually led her to establish ‘The Nail Artistry’. She always wanted to turn the therapeutic abilities of manicure and pedicure into a viable business. Her zeal to help everyone and pamper them so that they feel relaxed and good about themselves is what inspired her to set up her first “The Nail Artistry” salon in Kochi, Kerala. She also owns and manages an online news portal that aims to fight misinformation and offer unbiased and facts-based national news stories. Dr. Leena S. is also a successful producer whose first Malayalam web series is currently enthralling audiences.
