What does it take to build a luxury finishing school from the ground up using your own wedding fund?
In this feature of Her Circle Bizruptors, we sit down with Konkana Bakshi, Principal Image and Etiquette Consultant and Founder of Savoir Faire Academie, a luxury finishing school in Mumbai.
Konkana shares how she spotted a gap in India's fast-growing global ambitions. She tells us how success isn't just about skills, but also about how you show up. With Savoir Faire Academie, Bakshi aims to redefine what it means to be a well-rounded, world-ready professional.
The school takes a holistic, multi-layered approach to transformation. It begins with a visual transformation through image consulting, and then moves into nuanced skills including etiquette, non-verbal communication, body language, business and social etiquette, media training, conversation skills, voice modulation, and how to pitch and present in front of a camera.
She opens up about the challenges of running a finishing school in today's world, why traditional etiquette doesn't cut it for Gen Z and young millennials, and how she boldly invested her wedding fund into her dream instead. Whether you're an entrepreneur, a professional looking to level up, or someone curious about the world of image consulting, this one's for you.
