Over the last three years, through the CDSI, she has organized over 20 immensely successful teaching seminars both for beauticians and dermatologists. Industrial giants like Hindustan Lever Limited and Givaudan Roure, Switzerland have often invited her to conduct various cosmetologic research projects for them, which she has successfully carried out under international guidelines, including the WHO’s instructions for Good Clinical Practice (GCP).
