Founder of Beauty in Translation, Priyana Sanghvi is an enthusiastic student at Singapore American School, where her academic interests lie in Psychology, Literature and Economics. Priyana intends to study psychology and is particularly drawn to how what a person thinks, wants and believes about herself is shaped by the people around her.

Beyond the classroom, she has also spent time inside the beauty industry itself, interning at a beauty product manufacturing company where she worked on marketing and product development with both the team in New York and London offices. She volunteers with Tribes for Good, an organisation that places students with NGOs, where she is trained in topic sensitivity and how to present in Hindi. Through this, she has also run sessions with school students in India on gender stereotypes and beauty standards, and distributed newsletters on the topics.

These experiences gave her the confidence to build something of her own. Beauty in Translation was born from that, a project built on the belief that a girl cannot question a standard she has never been told the origin of. Through it, she hopes to reach girls who have grown up being told what to fix about themselves, and to leave them with the confidence to decide that for themselves.
