“Success begins when you step out of your comfort zone, and change begins with curiosity & experiments!” The saying best personifies the life of the charming and vibrant entrepreneur Shraddha Agarwal, Founder at Image InStylle. From an adorable daughter to a caring mother, a loving wife, and today, a recognized go-getter in the niche of image consulting, her transformational journey is being an inspiration for many.
Shraddha is the epitome of enthusiasm. With full of aspirations & dreams, she always wanted to prove her potential to the world. However, just like any typical conventional Indian girl’s story, she was convinced to get married on receiving a promising marriage proposal. Life became beautiful to the young lady. A perfectly balanced life with the beloved and two little daughters didn’t fulfil her life, which was full of ambitions and dreams. Though she lived a wholesome life, she was fighting an inner battle of finding purpose in life, rising above this lavish lifestyle to build something meaningful. Talking a leap of faith, she stepped from being a bud and began to blossom. She discovered her true passion, pursued studies in the field of image management, and soft-skills. In the process, she experienced an exceptional transformation in her overall personality. Her belief in outer beauty was shattered, and she realized that it’s the inner beauty that makes the person more resourceful. She realized the need for such transformation and wanted to help people to enhance their image. With the great mission to help individuals in creating an impressive, credible, and confident personal Image she established Image InStylle.
To know more about Shraddha's inspirational journey, peruse the following snippets of an exclusive conversation between her and Women Entrepreneur India.
“I focus on helping entrepreneurs, professionals, homemakers, and socialites to feel good and look impressive, credible, and confident to ace in social, personal, and professional life”
Take US Through Your Personal And Professional Journey.
My interests are diversified, so is my education. I am a qualified Architect. I explored a lot in the years of self-doubt to discover what my true passion is. I ventured into several small-scale industries such as books, art, fashion, travel, and jewelry. I am a post-graduate in travel & tourism and a passionate photographer. I did a bit of everything and eventually did not find fulfilment in any. All these trials happened after I was married.
As a matter of turning point, in 2016, my childhood friend introduced me to Image Management and Soft Skills from ICBI, Mumbai. After finishing my studies, I realized that self-doubt has been prevalent throughout my life. I wanted to get out of my comfort zone, family pampering and in 2017, I flew across the oceans and pursued an Image Management degree from Conselle Institute of Image Management, USA. I got trained under the industry veteran, Image master Judith Rasband.
This whole process transcended my ordinaries and transformed every aspect of inner self and personality. And, now I am on the mission of transforming personality, behaviour, and life as a whole.
How Do You Enforce Constant Learning And Positive Change In Your Professional Life?
Self-learning should become a habit, of course, learning is a never-ending process. I learn new things from each session & training. Whenever I find a gap in my client's skill on something new that I have not handled, I take a short course on the subject. I keep updating myself by talking to experts, attending seminars, and more.

People hesitate to connect with us in person. They would not even want to speak up about getting an image makeover.
