Ep #27: The dentist turned award-winning fine jewellery designer. Career change with Kajal Naina

Kajal's journey from a dentist to a jewellery designer is nothing short of remarkable. After 10 years of working in the more conventional career of dentistry, Kajal had the courage to step out of her comfort zone and make a profound change. With sheer dedication and hard work, she honed her skills and unleashed her creativity to establish "Kajal Naina Fine Jewellery" in January 2017. Since then, her brand has been going from strength to strength. Today, apart from her hugely successful online marketplace, she has a flagship store in Hong Kong and is soon to open one in New York. Kajal's story is an inspiration to all those who have been holding back their passions due to societal expectations or fear of the unknown.
