Boss Woman - Shivani Malik, Director DA MILANO

Background

I entered the business back in 2007 when Da Milano had only two stores. Reckoned as a fast-moving bridge-to-luxury brand, Da Milano today has more than 85 stores including operated showrooms at 18 Airports in India. As part of its international endeavors, Da Milano opened its Flagship store in Dubai, Ibn Battuta, Burjuman, Sharjah and Bahrain, and one store in the country of Nepal. Malik is responsible for brand’s global acclaim in the Gulf.

In 2010, I co-founded Rosso Brunello, a leading footwear brand in India and UAE. Today, the brand has 18 standalone stores, 27 dual brand (with Da Milano) stores in India and 5 stores in UAE, 1 in Nepal.

A strong proponent of education, I have also been fulfilling my grandmother’s dream to impart education to the underprivileged children. As the director of Monsoon Kids, a school which was founded by my maternal grandmother in New Delhi, aims to equip underprivileged children with the necessary skills to compete in a global marketplace, so they can lead a life of dignity.

RAPID FIRE
Describe yourself… I like to believe I’m extremely passionate about my work. I’m also a believer in myself. If I want to achieve something I do whatever I can to make it happen. I also understand that failing is a part of the process, so I try not to be bogged down by bumps that come along the path they are important in teaching lessons. I’m also very fun loving and love to make every moment count.

Define your style…
I love power dressing! When I look good, I feel better, and it gives me further confidence in everything I do.
