What makes it unique from other contemporaries is offering the highest pay-outs in the direct selling industry.

The Forever business owners are devoted to the company and loyal to the management as the brand conforms to all the laws, gracefully adapts with the changes of time and ensures transparency of information.

THE FLP TEAM

Spearheading the brand in the position of COO, Nikita is both a teacher and a student, as well as a mentor and a protégé.

The expressive, family-oriented, relationship-focused, and interested in helping others leader has constant endeavour to be able to look squarely in the eye those that trust depends on her which drives her decisions and actions.

She takes the trust and vulnerability of her team seriously as she has a team of 8 department heads with some who have partnered her in the 15 years of career, the experts in their fields report directly to her.

"The transparency and synergy during their weekly brainstorming sessions leave me with a sense of pride. Keeping the environment transparent, providing a macro as well as a micro vision goal and ensuring that there is seamless communication between the departments, hones the multitasking abilities and gets our employees to make quicker decisions.

For the new employees, well, we strive to make it a place they want to work at, and have the same passion and vision of helping change the lives of millions." proudly shared Nikita

CHALLENGES AND PILLARS OF STRENGTH

Nikita has overcome various personal and professional life challenges as her career grew from the pivot. As responsibilities grew, so did her constant battle with time.

Professionally, the challenges were selling a relatively new concept of network marketing back in the early 2000s, building trust in the market then, and being taken seriously by male-dominant industry has always posed as an additional challenge.

Nikita knew that she was there to stay and she did! She had conviction in the company, products, the opportunity FLP was offering and the faith and trust of so many people which helped enormously in making all challenges seem obscure.

In her journey, the supporting pillars for Nikita have been her family including her supportive and understanding husband, her parents and daughter who have been encouraging her endeavours despite the limited time.

Nikita puts a massive premium on her team, all the leaders in the team and their synergistic approach in resolving challenges.

Last but not the least, she credits her mentor, Navaz Ghaswala, who has been one of the most supportive and a huge guiding factor with all the decisions taken by her personally and professionally.

JOURNEY SO FAR

A journey of self-discovery, personal growth, and professional growth, the period since Nikita started her career has been a learning experience for her and shaped and defined who she is today.

The entrepreneur in her has never allowed the old-style work beliefs where traditionally specific roles influence and defines her resolve.

In an emerging society with strong and influential women breaking the stereotypes, like many young leaders, the hardest struggle for Nikita was to be taken seriously when she initiated.

"I remember a time early on in my career when I had to stand up on a stool to be heard in a room full of extremely opinionated men. I knew what I was doing and I was very good at it.

And that kept me on course. Today, I have so much more learning, growth, and discovery ahead of me, in all aspects of my life. And I will eagerly embrace all the upcoming experiences." shared Nikita

ACING IN DIFFERENT ROLES

Being a working mother, wife, daughter, daughter in law, sister, running her home and holding a position of responsibility in the company, means that one has to juggle all roles delicately, decisively and impartially, while giving attention to each role with equal importance.

In this stressful routine, Nikita has found her way to make a perfect balance between her roles.

As a decision-maker, she performs due diligence on a decision in any area, the goals for the outcome, the purpose of the decision and the overall good it will do, to her help fight 'later' demons of regret.

IMPARTING WISDOM

 All good businesses should make money, but money should not be the only thing all good businesses should make, keeping the same in mind, Nikita believes that women have an edge with their value of empathy while making business decisions.

With empathy, persistence, the ability to gain someone's trust without not breaking it, and not allowing the dictates of society tell a woman what they can or cannot do being a woman, every woman can lead her way to success.

"Stay true to your core value system! Give yourself the gift of imperfection and self-acceptance. Embrace the journey knowing that you can and will succeed.

In business one of the most important aspects is to embrace change because, at any given time, you will need to shift strategies due to circumstances beyond your control." Nikita shared the wisdom she gained from her career.
