Vivek Sahni believes in kindness, empathy, and being authentic

Keeping Face with Kathleen Baird-Murray

Visit the Westbourne Grove branch of Kama Ayurveda and it's like stepping into India. Jungles with elephants and banana leaf murals, smart red striped ceilings and marigold garlands invite us to discover the ancient wisdoms of Ayurveda. Started by the former graphic designer Vivek Sahni over 20 years ago, Kama Ayurveda is now owned by the Spanish family-owned beauty conglomerate, Puig.

For Keeping Face, Vivek, a self-proclaimed "non-businessman" describes his anxiety during the Covid years, and the learnings he experienced from his staff as shops shut, the business had to pivot rapidly, and the pandemic tried to shut him down. The secret ingredient? Kindness.
