Swati Vakharia

Founder
Nabhi Sutra

Swati Vakharia is the founder of Nabhi Sutra, a pioneering wellness brand rooted in Ayurveda. With over 15 years of entrepreneurial experience, her journey has been diverse and impactful, spanning an IT firm, a women-centric magazine called Women Planet, a charitable trust, and now the groundbreaking brand Nabhi Sutra.

An alumna of IIM Bangalore’s 10,000 Women course, she honed her skills and set the stage for an illustrious entrepreneurial path. Swati’s exploration of Ayurveda began during her journey of motherhood, when her research into holistic healing led her to the ancient practice of Nabhi Chikitsa. Recognizing its immense potential, she collaborated with her cousin, an Ayurvedic doctor, to formulate Nabhi Sutra’s unique products, officially launching the brand in 2019. Since then, the brand has carved its niche in the wellness industry, earning her features in Fortune India Exchange, Forbes, YourStory, Hindustan Times, DNA India, and several other reputed publications.

Her appearance on Shark Tank India Season 3 further underlined Nabhi Sutra’s significance and her vision to promote wellness through Ayurveda. Beyond business, Swati serves as a trustee of a charitable trust and leads Muskaan, a campaign dedicated to educating rural women about menstrual hygiene. A passionate advocate for women empowerment and holistic living, she continues to inspire through her work.

Today, Swati remains focused on rediscovering India’s forgotten rituals and bringing them to the forefront, blending tradition with modern wellness needs.
