Ms. Ishi Khosla:
I remember I was in 14 years old . Started my own weight loss journey. The impact that food was making on my body : my waist trimmer , my skin was glowing , vitamins worked to clear my acne & so on … it was hugely empowering to me as a teenager. It was so relatable & tangible. The power of food & nutrtion was stamped. I felt that rather than studying medicine it would be better to pursues studies in this field. Change of course happened in Class 11 while I was in the medical section I did not apply to any medical college. And the rest became history.

I did not set out to be an entrepreneur. It was the sheer need for healthier alternatives which lead me to take it upon my self. I had to convince my husband to support this idea. Once that happened we started Whole Foods. I continued my professional life in nutrition counselling along with this thanks to my husband who gave the business shape & helped with operations.
