In this episode of Business in Colour, Sadhana and I talk with Dr. Suji Sanjeevan, a Melbourne-based doctor turned ambiance innovator, who masterfully blends science, artistry, and creativity. She is a graduate of King’s College London, beginning her career in policy development and research at leading institutions, including the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute. In 2015, her career took a transformative leap, when she co-founded Light & Glo Designs alongside her husband, Dr. Sanjeevan, an allergy specialist.

Their Australian fragrance house operates through two visionary arms: LIGHT + GLO, celebrated for its premium home and personal fragrances, and BrandScent, a pioneering scent marketing agency specialising in bespoke olfactory branding.  Did you know that 60% of our emotions are driven by scent? Suji shares the science behind scents, their experience on Shark Tank, building a business from scratch with just $237, the challenges and hurdles to keep the business going – a behind the scenes in business - we don’t offer hear. We are so grateful for her honestly and even more so when she shares a bit more about herself, her SriLankan heritage, the expectations and pressure from culture and family and the impacts to well-being, finding your voice and what success truly means for culturally diverse individuals without socio-cultural norms. A jam packed episode with an outstanding, human centered, authentic leader, Suji Sanjeevan.
