She chose wellness cosmetics which includes hair oils, fairness creams, weight reduction gels, facial creams etc. She established a laboratory and made different cosmetics to treat skin and hair problems by researching and adding herbs to them.

Apollo pharmacy is one of the main seller of her products. Now, 25 employees are working in this firm who make Rs. 90 lakh worth of products including creams, shampoos etc.
