Tanya Shukla, Director of three highly successful businesses in the UK. I work in conjunction with my sister Shagun Shukla to manage all these businesses.
After completing my degree at King’s College London, I worked in the pharmaceutical sector at GlaxoSmithKline and AstraZeneca, NHS hospitals, and community pharmacies as a qualified Pharmacist. Following this I got involved in the management of a nursing home we own in Gloucestershire, which provides residential and dementia care to the elderly. Since acquiring the business in 2012, we have worked tirelessly to transform it to be one of the leading nursing homes in the region. Under our guidance, the business value has tripled and turnover has more than doubled. It has a reputation second to none. We have also created several jobs for local and overseas nationals. We employed over 20 people with Indian nationality who now work for our organization. We also helped them settle in well in the local community by helping them with accommodation and assisting with immigration applications for their families. Not only are we the biggest employer in the local town of Fairford, but we are also known to be compassionate and excellent at providing care and serving the locals.
In November 2022, we launched the UK’s revolutionary supplements brand focusing on women’s health. Combining my sister’s business expertise and my medical and pharmaceutical background we founded “Dome Vitamins”. Dome Vitamins delivers clinically validated active ingredients using luxury chocolate as a carrier. We collaborated with a prestigious UK University for product research and development and used our own expertise to improve and scale up the products. We work with traditional British chocolatiers who have been in business for over 100 years to manufacture these domes of perfection. Our innovative chocolate vitamins are taking the UK market by storm as people are happily switching from pills to our chocolate domes. We have garnered plenty of support and have been featured in popular UK editorials such as the “Evening Standard”, “Vogue”, “Closer”, etc. We have also been shortlisted for one of the biggest awards in the baby and mother space, called “Made for Mums”. Our patent is pending for this innovative product. Dome Vitamins is the epitome of healthcare and well-being innovation with a scientific and sustainability core. We are particularly proud of launching our unique menstrual care product to break menstrual health taboos and empower all women. Our products have been curated by several big online brands in the women’s health space. Dome Vitamins is expected to become one of the biggest brands in the UK founded by women.
We are also set to acquire pharmacies and dental practices in the UK to further expand our portfolio. Our community Pharmacy is a well-known Hampstead pharmacy with a high patient enrolment and support services in the community. We have a solid base in healthcare and aim to further expand the business and bring further pride to our country of origin. Our growth is down to our resilience and our ability to overcome every challenge with courage and a robust strategy. Resilience is a quality that we harbored growing up in India. Our father has always been our inspiration who built his own empire from nothing. His resilience, determination, and hard work have always been our mantra to success. Our deep Indian roots also keep us humble and grounded, which only deepens with success.
I am thankful for this wonderful opportunity, and I will continue to bring pride to India.
