Author, entrepreneur and beauty expert Shalini Vadhera launched Power Beauty Living's global platform at Impact Leadership 21's Annual Power of Collaboration Global Summit at the United Nations Headquarters.
Vadhera's journey is an inspiring story — especially for aspiring businesswomen. She started out as a jewelry and fashion entrepreneur and soon became a celebrity guest on television shows like Dr. Oz, Today and The View. The best-selling author of Passport to Beauty and the founder of a $21 million global cosmetics company, Vadhera was named the #1 Person to Watch by The Economic Times of India, the winner of the Game Changer of the Decade Award in Beauty and the winner of the coveted Oprah Beauty O~Ward.

Vadhera launched Power Beauty Living in September 2014 to empower women. The platform unites top female thought leaders and experts from around the world. Through panels, programs and events, they provide women resources to power up their business, beauty and life.
At this event, she showcased the platform to over 350 country heads, diplomats, ambassadors and high-level executive women from the UN.
Vadhera shared her motivation for the initiative: "I created Power Beauty Living based on my own business experiences as an entrepreneur and the lack of mentorship, community and resources, for women by women, in building their businesses and balancing their lives. I feel a strong desire to create a destination for women to get the insight and tools they need to empower themselves in business, in beauty and in living a blissful balanced life."
