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. Early detection of an analytical mind, capacity for exceptional diligence and rational prudence helped her to nurture his scientific acumen while imbibing right values, beliefs and insights for his holistic development. 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.

After each training, feedback from audience is duly analyzed & shared with trainers for improvement of programmed layout and delivery. Furthermore, books and scholarly journal articles give me deeper insights into human psychology &
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.
