‘Find something you love and do it better than everyone else.’: Namita Ambani, COO, The Heal Institute
The Proust Questionnaire is a questionnaire about one’s personality. It has its origins in a parlour game popularised by Marcel Proust, the French essayist, who believed that, in answering these questions, an individual reveals his or her true nature.
Namita Ambani, COO, The Heal Institute started her career as a marketer and spent around four years in the retail industry. During a sabbatical, she launched an organic food brand and an educational brand. She was looking for a complete change when she got an opportunity to work with the healthcare industry. With the Heal Institute, she has conceptualised many business ideas. The Heal Institute is known for promoting health and an active lifestyle and aims to become a name synonymous with pain management and relief in India.
