Ravija Srivastava
Owner & Image Consultant
When she took a break from her career, she spent nine years in grooming her son for a structured career path.

This experience coupled with her teaching expertise ignited her urge to touch many more lives in similar ways, and thus was Ravija Srivastava Image Consultants born. In an exclusive conversation with CEO Insights, Ravija delineates her company’s offerings and aspirations.

behavior, whereas lifestyle & fashion magazines, exhibitions and designer showrooms keep me informed about trends in cultural evolution. My entire team keeps close tab on social media trends and draws current information from NYFW, LFW and celebrity trends for cuts & fits and Pantone website for color schemes. Customizing a particular trend to suit character sets and budget range of different clients is both challenging and interesting.
