DIYA KHURANA
Diya is a Hospital Management Professional who holds an MBA in Hospital Management, specialisation HR from IMS, DAVV, Indore. Her career started at a high note from campus recruitment by the then third largest pharmaceutical company in India, Wockardt. Reporting directly to the VP HR brought a variety of opportunities to learn well and fast.
She then got married and moved to smaller town Vadodara where she worked full time with a reputed hospital for almost 3 years. It was after her first child was born that Diya consciously prioritised her baby over a job that required a full day commitment. However, when her daughter turned 3 and started school, all the free time she had made her wonder, “I need to do something fulfilling but it has to have the flexibility of working hours”. She started looking for alternative work options that allowed her the flexibility in working hours and started to explore where she could have the ease to balance her personal and professional life. She came across ICBI and joined the program to enhance her own skills to dress well and pursue training in soft skills. However, after completing the program and certifying as an Image Consultant and Soft Skills Trainer, she realised the potential of her skill set and started her own firm Diya Khurana Image Consulting with an endeavour to bring fashion with function to the common man/ woman in a manner that everyone can dress up and look good with confidence at a value that they can afford.
Today, 12 years post certification, Diya is an Image and Business Coach, Corporate Trainer and Etiquette Consultant who has worked with more than 10,000 professionals and over 5000 children empowering and enabling them to achieve their goals in personal, professional and social lives.

Once she had achieved what she wanted for her loved ones, she thought, “What’s next?” What are the other options that can be explored as after 5 years of sabbatical, going back to a regular job structure- seemed almost impossible?

MONIKA SHARMA AGARWAL
Monika started working as a faculty and corporate trainer with NIIT at a young age of 23. This was the era of Y2K and VRS, when the government sector was turning to computerization. At a young age she got an opportunity to train senior most scientists from Grassland, engineers from BHEL and many senior managers in banking sector.
However life had other plans, after marrying the love of her life Anurag in 2002, she became a part of a huge joint family of 25 members. With matrimonial bliss, 2 amazing kids Raghav and Stuti, time flew and she got fully engaged in concurring the trails and challenges of domestic life. As the children grew she started feeling that in spite of all the luxuries of life, there was a huge gap in her intellectual fulfilment that she has experienced as a working professional.
That is when opportunity knocked, just at the right time. She got to attend one of the women’s day workshops organized by ICBI. It was like finding the missing piece of the puzzle. Training was always her passion and it was all she knew, however going back to technical training after such a long gap did not look feasible. Soft skills and appearance management was something that looked like quite a great match with her passion for training and people skills mastered as a homemaker and socialite during her sabbatical years. The encouragement and handholding provided by ICBI, its faculties and fellow learner’s community at every step helped her get back her lost confidence.
There was no looking back after that. Today she has trained more than 5000 people across the 4 continents, ranging from CEOs of top US firms to the underprivileged kids from the slums of Delhi, and everyone in between. She has also worked very actively on mental heath wellness programs for companies and educational Institutes across India and South East Asia during the difficult times of global pandemic. She is also a visiting faculty at various institutes including The Knowledge Academy UK, Image Consulting Business Institute, The Antarmanh Foundation, Psyche Panacea India, DPS Jhansi and many more. Lifelong advocate of giving back to the society, she is also an active volunteer for TeachIndia – A TOI initiative and The Karyashala Foundation.
