Early Years:

I became a professional table tennis player by age 11. With an international career spanning over 17 years, I represented India from 1983-1995, and captained the Indian team in World Championships, Asian Games, Commonwealth games, South Asian Games among others, winning over 140 medals, including the Shivaji Chhatrapati Award as the Best International Sportsperson in my state in 1991.

After retiring from active professional sports, I studied Ikebana for seven years at the Ohara School of Japan and Bonsai from Indo Japanese Association. I also studied Interior design and took a keen interest in shaping Bonsai plants, as well as various programs in Neuro Linguistic Programing, Feng Shui and Freelance Journalism.

Building Milestone

In 2003, my husband’s career brought us to Dubai, where I decided to form my company Milestone the following year. I soon earned the reputation of being the best landscape designer in Dubai, designing for the likes of Sheikh Mohammed and creating centerpieces and arrangements for over 80 hotels and restaurants.
