Behind the Scenes: My Journey in Fashion & Styling
I am Sejal. Styling isn't just about clothes for me, it is a nine-year journey of helping real people feel like themselves. Here is a look at the milestones and moments that shaped my mission.
People often ask what drives my passion. It's the joy of helping clients rediscover their confidence. This video shares my nine-year journey in the styling industry and the mission that fuels me every day: to help you feel beautiful and free in your own skin.
This is the story of The Style Planner, a mother-daughter dream venture we started seven years ago. We've faced doubts and challenges, but our shared goal of empowering women through styling and makeup has kept us going strong.
My career has been a journey from fashion design to styling and makeup artistry. Every step has led me here, and I'm so excited to be working on a special new project that feels like coming full circle.
As a stylist and makeup artist, my mission is to help everyone see their own beauty and feel confident and empowered. This reel captures moments from my workshops and masterclasses where I get to do just that.
I was truly honored to be recognized as a DCN Star Influencer and Global Leader in Fashion & Styling. This video captures the moment I received the award, a milestone that reaffirms my mission to empower people through style and makeup.

About My Story, Awards & Events
Building a brand is rarely glamorous, and it certainly was not overnight. Seven years ago, when my mother and I started The Style Planner, many people told us that styling real people was a failed business model, and that a mother-daughter venture would not last. We kept going because we knew that styling is about more than trends; it is about building genuine confidence.
Nine years in this industry has taught me that the best transformations happen when you stop following strict rules and start listening to yourself. When I pivoted from fashion design to full-time styling, I was told it was a risk. Today, I am proud to say that my mother and I have built a studio in Pune that stands the test of time.
More Than Just a Label From my mother’s roots with Beauty Pride, which she started in 2001, to our current venture, The Style Planner, we have focused on one thing: accessibility. Whether it is bridal makeup for a Pune wedding or a personal styling session, my goal remains the same. I want you to walk out of my studio feeling like the best version of yourself, not a cookie-cutter version of a trend.
Milestones & Recognition Being recognized as a DCN Star Influencer and Global Leader in Fashion & Styling was a proud moment, not just for the trophy, but because it validated that real-life styling matters. These moments, whether it is standing on a red carpet or inaugurating a designer store like Par Life, are reminders of why I started. They anchor my work in the reality that fashion is for everyone, not just celebrities.
