Vandana Sethi, cat mom and Founder, Luv My India

In a world that constantly celebrates ambition, hustle, and achievement, Vandana Sethi is a refreshing reminder that true strength also lies in softness, compassion, and emotional connection.

Entrepreneur, leader, patriot, and proud cat mom, Vandana Sethi represents a modern woman who has embraced every version of herself unapologetically. While she has consciously built her identity as a successful professional and visionary entrepreneur through her brand Luv My India, it was the unexpected role of being a “cat mother” that transformed her most deeply.

What began as caring for two tiny companions slowly evolved into something far more meaningful — a lesson in unconditional love, patience, emotional presence, and nurturing without expectation. Through her cats, Vandana discovered a quieter, more grounded side of herself, one that softened her perspective not only personally, but even in the way she leads people and builds relationships professionally.

In today’s fast-moving digital world, where burnout has almost become a badge of honour, Vandana beautifully embraces the importance of slowing down. For her, some of life’s most meaningful moments are not found in grand achievements, but in the simple act of sitting quietly with her cats after a long day — disconnected from the noise of the world and fully present in the moment.

At the heart of her journey also lies a deep love for India. Through Luv My India, Vandana set out to make patriotism feel personal, expressive, and woven into everyday life rather than reserved only for symbolic occasions. Her vision reflects not just national pride, but a belief in emotional connection — to culture, identity, and community.

What makes Vandana truly inspiring is her honesty about modern womanhood. She does not believe in perfection or the unrealistic pressure placed on women to “do it all flawlessly.” Instead, she believes in authenticity, reinvention, and staying emotionally connected to yourself through every phase of life.

Warm, emotionally intuitive, and fiercely positive, Vandana Sethi embodies the spirit of a new-age supermom — one who nurtures deeply, leads fearlessly, and proves that motherhood is not defined only by biology, but by love itself.

And that is precisely what makes her a true TheGlitzMegaSuperMom 2026 — a woman redefining care, compassion, and strength in her own beautifully unconventional way.

Over To Vandana Sethi, Luv My India

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

Honestly, the “cat mom” role. Leader and achiever were roles I consciously worked towards over the years, but this one arrived unexpectedly and completely took over my heart. I never imagined two tiny beings would quietly end up running my emotional life.

People joke that cats are independent, but anyone who lives with them knows they slowly become the centre of your routine, your concern, your affection, and sometimes even your conversations. Somewhere between worrying whether they’ve eaten, re-thinking long plans as they would miss me and vice-versa, and talking to them like they’re actual children, you realise… this is parenting too, just with more whiskers and attitude.

On a deeper level, I think it also made me more nurturing as a person. Not just at home, but even in the way I lead people and build relationships professionally

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

My cats honestly force me to slow down. They have absolutely no respect for deadlines, stress, or work pressure. If they want attention, they want attention.

And strangely, that becomes therapeutic. Some of my calmest moments come from simply sitting with them after a long day, with no meetings, no phone, no noise. Animals have a beautiful way of pulling you back into the present moment.

I think in today’s world, where everyone is constantly rushing, those quiet moments of connection matter a lot more than we realise.

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

Unconditional love, definitely.
A lot of my close friends are mothers, and just watching them over the years has made me realise how much strength, emotional balance, and selflessness motherhood actually demands. And somewhere, even my own experience of caring for my cats has taught me a version of that too.

Real care cannot be rushed. Whether it is with people, relationships, or animals, trust is built slowly. You cannot demand it, you earn it through consistency, presence, and love.

I think that understanding has changed me not just personally, but professionally as well.

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

“Meow. Meow. Meow.”
 Which roughly translates to: Where is the food, and why are you late?

Jokes apart, my cats would probably describe me as dramatic, emotional, and completely obsessed with them… which, to be fair, is not entirely untrue.

What is the philosophy behind Luv My India?

The thought behind Luv My India came from a very personal emotion, pride in being Indian.

I always felt patriotism should not only appear on national holidays or during big moments. It should exist naturally in everyday life, in the way we celebrate our culture, identity, and country.

That is why Luv My India was created. To make patriotism feel personal, expressive, and part of daily life rather than something occasional or symbolic.

What does being “The Glitz Mega Super Mom 2026” mean to you in today’s world,  perfection, resilience, reinvention, or something else entirely?

Definitely not perfection. I think women are already under too much pressure trying to balance everything flawlessly.

To me, it is more about being real. Being able to care deeply, handle responsibilities, grow through different phases of life, and still not lose your individuality in the process.

I think modern women today are constantly reinventing themselves emotionally, professionally, and personally. And that itself is a superpower.
