Not too many entrepreneurs can be said to be embodiments of their enterprise. But Vandana Luthra of New Delhi is certainly one.

She is slim and svelte. She is, of course, beautiful in the classical Indian model, and she carries herself with the grace that only comes with enormous self confidence. Its the sort of self confidence that is engendered, quite possibly, from the knowledge that one is entirely self made. And that Ms. Luthra certainly is.

Vandana Luthra made her entrepreneurial debut in 1989 by opening Indias first Transformation Center in New Delhi, which seamlessly married dietary and lifestyle modification-based scientific slimming programs with cutting edge skin and hair treatments. As Founder and Mentor, she is the guiding force behind VLCC — Indias leading slimming, beauty and fitness brand. VLCC has today achieved iconic status in the wellness space well beyond the Indian frontiers. Vandana Luthras entrepreneurial journey was sparked by her vision to make health and fitness accessible to all segments of society.

VLCC is a manifestation of that dream. In the last two decades, the VLCC Group has witnessed a meteoric growth and is currently a booming conglomerate averaging a 45 per cent CAGR, spread across nearly 140 locations across 70 cities in India and abroad. Vandana Luthra calls her involvement in social causes as immensely satisfying and refers to the time spent as the best part of her working day. She follows a simple philosophy in life: honesty in work and compassion towards fellow humans makes life a genuinely valuable experience.

Franchise Today makes no qualms in addressing Vandana Lutha as an Achiever. Vandana Luthra has always believed in the power within self – both its undeniable presence and its omnipotence. It is this universal concept that has driven her in every sphere of her life – be it business, where that very faith determines every satisfied customer looking to transform self, or be it life – where she sees the potential in every human being and strives hard to give a helping hand.
