"Dr. Shagun Gupta, Founder of the Shagun Gupta Foundation: An Expert You Know, a Beauty Pageant Winner You Don’t."
Dr. Shagun Gupta is a prominent beauty expert known for her groundbreaking work in permanent makeup and anti-aging treatments in India. Before founding the Shagun Gupta Institute of Permanent Makeup, she made significant contributions to the fields of paramedical treatment and anti-aging, generating numerous employment opportunities in the cosmetic sector. Her charm and expertise have also graced the glamour world, where she won not one, but two beauty pageants.
In 2014, Gupta was awarded the title of the Most Elegant Woman at Mrs. Gladrags. That same year, she competed against top models nationwide and secured the title of Mrs. Go-Air. Reflecting on her journey, Shagun remarked, "I have always believed that no matter how tough the world is, if you have the confidence to strive for your dreams, then nothing will stop you. I come from a conservative family, and the glamour world was a no-no in our house. Still, I pursued my dreams and started my journey by winning these beauty pageants."
Shagun challenges the notion that one must stick to a single profession. "I am a woman entrepreneur, and I believe in taking risks and opening various opportunities coming my way. Doctors and skin experts like us can be good role models for our society," she concludes.
