Ruhi Rajput, a Skilled Health Coach and Nutritionist Transforming Lives with Ayurveda

Nutritionist & Founder at Ayurvedic Soulgurugram

Ruhi Rajput is the founder of Ayurvedic Soul. Ayurvedic Soul is into the health and wellness sector. Ruhi started it in 2017 as she was passionate about health and wellness.

Ruhi was born in Punjab. Her father was in the Indian Air Force. She travelled a lot across the country. After moving across the country her parents settled in Assam as they hail from Assam. She reminisces fondly about her childhood. She says that it was a carefree period of her life. She would play with her cousin and enjoy the rains of Assam.

Ruhi is an MBA. She worked in the corporate sector till 2015. After the birth of her child, she realised the importance of being healthy and fit as she had put on weight due to her pregnancy. She wanted to find a sustainable solution to keep fit. That’s when she thought of exploring the ancient science of Ayurveda. She took a course in it. She consulted various experts in this field before embarking on her entrepreneurial journey.

Talking about challenges she faced when she started Ayurvedic Soul, Ruhi says that knowledge around Ayurveda is very scattered and unstructured and to bring it into a proper format was challenging for her. Besides, being a woman entrepreneur and juggling roles as a businesswoman, wife and mother was not at all easy. She also adds that people doubt before investing in women’s start-ups as they think women might leave their start- ups owing to their household responsibilities.

Ruhi considers her female friends who are into business as her role models. She takes inspiration from them. She believes if they can do it, so can she.

If Ruhi could go back in time and undo something, she would backpack and travel to places in Europe and around.

Apart from her work, Ruhi likes to enjoy her solitary time. She also likes to play with her kids, read books and cook.

Ruhi’s piece of advice to those who are just starting up is, focus on your goal. You should have proper knowledge of your field and update it with time. Besides, she also says that you should take care of your health and find ways to remain motivated all the time.
