Family background: Richi's father is Chemical engineer and mother is a housewife and herbal remedy expert. Husband an IT Professional.
Before Becoming A Nutripreneur: Before starting her own venture, Richi had a varied experience, all thanks to her dual qualification in health sector. She has previously worked as a chief physiotherapist with hospitals like Sterling hospitals Ahmedabad, as a consultant in paediatric and private clinics and also worked as a brand manager (media) for big brands like Britannia, Dabur, Saffola etc.
How did it all start: Richi says "It takes a long time to become overnight success. I graduated in Physiotherapy and Masters in Nutrition. At that time I used to dream about starting my own venture one day. I started as a consultant and got opportunities to work with multiple hospitals and with Sr. doctors and specialists like orthopaedic surgeons, pedestrians etc. As I was going family way, I had to quit my job which, at that time, was with a media company. I was the Brand Manager for Britannia, Dabur, Saffola etc. According to me my child is my priority but I didnt stop there. I started consulting in a nearby clinic, some private clients, writing blogs and articles for magazines and health websites. I was planning to start active practice when I again got a setback, I met with an accident in which I injured my leg and was on bed for good 6 months. Followed by another 6 months of rehabilitation, as the foot needed muscles buildup so that I can walk properly or run. That was the time when I was seeing many people around me with medical conditions and trying to loose weight. I noticed that a lot of supplements, meal replacements and pills have come up in market which are not the healthiest options to for our bodies internally. My own journey and transformation from fat to fit as I gained during my bed rest and no activity, inspired me to start this venture where motivation plays the key role in self transformation and lifestyle makeover too. Today we are a team and we are operating an e-clinic from different parts of the country but still together. My backbone is my team in which my Meal planner expert Mrs Priyanka Vithlani, without whom this journey was not possible, my mother who is a herb specialist and takes care of skin and hair issues of our clients with natural remedies, our families who have supported us throughout and our well wishers who follow us and help us spread our word of LIFESTYLE MAKEOVER".
Current: Online consultation for diet and fitness. They have a clientele from all over the world.

- Focus and attention to the medical condition of each patient/follower, as everyone has unique needs, in terms of ongoing medicine requirement, possible side effects and most importantly history of illness
