Over To Rishina Bansal…
TheGlitzMedia: As an IVF mother and a Clinical Embryologist, what is the most rewarding part of your motherhood journey so far?
Rishina: As an embryologist, I’ve helped create countless babies in the lab—but I never imagined I would one day become an IVF mom myself. The very science I’ve dedicated my career to become the reason I now hold my own bundle of joy and proudly wear the title of “mom.”
How do you tackle challenges in your roles as a mompreneur and clinic leader, and what are three defining milestones from this journey?
Motherhood teaches us far more than we often give it credit for. Since becoming a mother, I’ve developed qualities like patience, thoughtful analysis, and the ability to see and nurture individual potential—traits I hadn’t fully embraced before. These have been invaluable in my journey as a mompreneur, helping me lead with empathy and purpose.
Three milestones that stand out in my journey:
- Expanding our clinics from 2 to 6 locations after becoming a mom.
- Being selected for and completing the prestigious IIM-Goldman Sachs program.
- Launching and scaling multiple new verticals within our team that didn’t exist before.
Given your experience, how do you manage your professional and personal life?
I believe it’s essential to build a strong support ecosystem at home—there’s a reason they say, “it takes a village.” Whether it’s family or trusted caregivers, having that foundation is critical when you’re running a business.
I don’t think there’s a perfect work-life balance every day; instead, you focus on what needs the most attention at that moment and keep moving forward.
My TheGlitz quote is…
“Being a working mom doesn’t mean doing it all—it means doing what matters most, with love, grit, and grace.”
