MEET THE BEAUTIFUL MEDPRENEUR WHO IS MAKING THE WORLD A BEAUTIFUL PLACE
Namita Gupta
New Life, New Beginnings

Yоu are one of the pioneers in your field. What motivated you to choose this profession?

I practice dermatology and I'm very passionate about making people beautiful. So I beautify with medicine. This is a field which is still new in India. If you're a medical practitioner, you save lives. But it's also about adding values and that's what I do. As a child, I was always surrounded by beauty. My mother is an artist and used to make beautiful Tanjore paintings. She was always into interior designing and there was always beauty all around me. My father was a medical practitioner and had a very busy practice. He was a doctor who loved medicine. So combining beauty and medicine and growing around this itself was one of the major reasons that I'm where I am. But I had an innate liking towards beautification and all things beautiful. I love to dress up and I love fashion. And that's why I chose this profession that combines beauty and medicine.

How tough was it and what were the challenges that you had to face?

How did you overcome them? When I was doing my undergraduation in medicine it was a time when aesthetics had not caught up in India, but it was already trending across the world. So when I finished my undergraduation, I was inspired to travel around the world and I had to train myself in various sections in my field. It was a challenge as there were not many people practicing medicine in our country. So when I had to start practicing, convincing people and to customising.

In your field, like in many others, one has to keep changing with the times and adapt to new technology and innovations. How do you ensure that you're always ahead in your field?
