Founder

I tried, to bring back the hope in weary eyes, beauty in cynical faces, and a glow in jaded halos. It was almost a decade ago that I tread on the delicate terrain of others' dreams. I tried, in my own little way to usher in the mantra of look good, feel great. Nothing gave me a bigger high than to see the glow on a patron's face who, a couple of months ago came to me dejected, dismayed and with zero confidence. My dedicated team went to task, resculpted the persona and today the same life has an attitude and is all set to go out, be with friends, experiment with life, wear clothes that accentuate the body beautiful and face life with a whole new energy. A new karma.


And it is with wings set to fly that I have set up this institution. The idea is to see the same glow, the same positivity.


I welcome you to VLCC Institute of Beauty, Health and Management with a humble hope that we can once again bring back smiles as we have done in the past with other VLCC endeavors.

The VLCC Institute of Beauty Health and Management is India’s first and leading  comprehensive vocational training academy of its kind  that offers professional and vocational courses in beauty, health, nutrition and management. In a Sunrise Industry, where there is more demand than supply of qualified and trained manpower ‑ the VLCC Institute has been instrumental in filling a need gap.


Academic Linkage with Doncaster College, UK


Doncater College, UK

VLCC Institutes has entered into an Academic Link up with Doncaster College, UK, for upward progression for higher studies for the students passing out of VLCC Institutes.


Doncaster College is the largest provider of further education in South Yorkshire in the UK and home to over 20,000 students and some of the best educational facilities in the UK including state-of-the-art IT facilities, a 100-seat lecture theatre, a 200-seat drama studio, state of the art Learning Resource Centre and a beauty salon packed with a hairdresser, nail bar, Jacuzzi, sauna, steam room and dry flotation bed, etc.


Doncaster College would  offer a one year Top Up programme to City & Guilds’ qualified students of VLCC Institutes at the College in the UK under work and learn programme.

This would provide students the opportunities of learning by using the state of the art resources at the College as well as exposure of working in the UK industry.


City & Guilds, UK


Affiliated to the prestigious City & Guilds of UK, the Institute offers three broad categories of courses ‑ Beauty / Health & Nutrition / Management. The VLCC Institute is the only dedicated training facility for vocational beauty courses that has no attached Client Service Parlour or Slimming Centre.


While City and Guilds does provide for upto Level 3 Skills Acquisitions in countries outside of UK, and in India, this was being made available to Beauty Students through the VLCC Institutes, there always were students who wanted to pursue higher level skills acquisitions, ie Level 4 and beyond, but did not have an opportunity to do so. This Academic Linkage with Doncaster College would provide the same to the students now.
