When asked how she got roped into this industry, she says “I suffered health-related problems and got burnt out working as an investment banker. I started the Bangalore Sunday Brunch Club in 2012, got featured in the New York times. Linkedin helped me build my network. One thing led to another. I never imagined I’d make it this far.”

Her latest stint involves E-commerce Livestream, with leading fashion platforms such as Myntra, Flipkart (MOJ) and Amazon. Live streaming is the latest buzzword, where a handful of select influencers engage, share their expertise about products so that the shopper makes informed discussions via online shopping. 

“There are no retakes on the LIVE stream, you have to maintain the personal connect, be lively, give authentic reviews, have knowledge of the latest styles, fabrics and trends. It's a full-body workout (Fashion), and I love going LIVE”, I get to interact with shoppers who in turn transition as my followers. The perks are fabulous, my wardrobe has quadrupled and I use it to create content for my social platforms, giving me more credibility as a Style influencer. One way to stay on top of the game is to be consistent, tap into your uniqueness by staying grounded and true to yourself. I have to remind myself daily why I started this. It's easy to slip into a negative space. There are trolls who can alter the mindset. There is a lot that goes on behind the camera especially when LIVE. I get broadcasted to a wider audience across the country. The positive messages outweigh the negative ones and it's worth it.” states Deena.
