Over To Nidhi Sabbarwal, Founder of Kalyanamm

You wear many hats — mother, leader, achiever. Which role has surprised you the most, and why?

The position that surprised me the most was that of the entrepreneur. Even though I started out in the field of public relations and brand communications, when I started Kalyanamm, everything changed in terms of how I viewed the effects that leadership could have on society. From the start, it was evident that our mission encompassed not only sustainability but also women’s empowerment and spirituality. I would never have imagined that such a position would be coupled with my own personal development. Being a mother now, I am aware of the type of legacy I wish to pass on to future generations.

In a world that celebrates hustle, how do you create meaningful moments of pause and connection with your children?

In today’s fast-moving society, I have learned that kids prefer your presence to your perfection. Regardless of the pressures of running a business, I make it a point to develop small but powerful traditions with my children, whether it be enjoying a meal together, engaging in bedtime talk, recognizing minor successes, or just spending quality time with them. These acts keep me grounded and help me realize why I am putting in such effort. As a mother, I create emotional stability and memories, just as I create strategies and brands as an entrepreneur. In my opinion, true connections aren’t made through big gestures; they are made daily when you make your kids feel heard, valued, and cherished.

What is one life lesson motherhood has taught you that no business school or boardroom ever could?

Being a mother has made me realize that great leadership starts with empathy and patience. There is no professional experience that can ever prepare anyone for the kind of emotional strength that one needs to raise kids. Being a mother has also taught me that change does not happen instantly; instead, sometimes taking time to nurture people leads to the most stable and strong structures. These principles play out well in how I run my brand and manage my team members now. In all interactions with artisans, employees, and consumers alike, I have understood that there is power in being kind and understanding.

If your children had to describe you in three words, what do you think they would say… and what would you hope they say?

I believe my kid will see me as compassionate, diligent, and always on the go. In my capacity as an entrepreneur and mother, managing many different tasks usually means constantly switching between career and parenting duties. But the traits that I would really wish my kid could mention about me are being inspirational and being there. I care less about achievements in my career and more about leaving behind an impression of a woman who could be successful and kind-hearted at the same time. To me, success does not only imply creating a great business empire but also bringing up confident and respected children.

What does being “TheGlitzMegaSuperMom 2026” mean to you in today’s world — perfection, resilience, reinvention, or something else entirely?

To be “TheGlitzMegaSuperMom 2026,” I see no need for perfection, only resilience, authenticity, and purpose. Today’s mothers are always trying to balance a lot of different things within their daily lives, including their feelings, characters, and professional careers.

For me, a SuperMom is someone who sets standards while holding on to what is valuable. It was through my work experience at Kalyanamm that I learned how incredible the skill of transformation is; even the unwanted flowers from the temple can turn out to be something completely different. In motherhood, similarly, we learn to transform our sorrows into power, our sacrifices into affection, and our daily activities into precious memories.
