Career

In 2016, while pursuing her master’s degree, she realised that economics was not her passion, therefore, she partly ventured into the fashion blogging for recreation because her academics were quite tough and challenging. Surprisingly, by the end of 2016, she gained significant growth in her audience, hence, she decided to pursue blogging full-time. In an interview, she said,

This whole plan of mine was a secret. Nobody other than my best friend who helped me click pictures for my blog knew about it. I had told myself if I am not able to connect to those many individuals in a year, then nobody ever has to know and I can go back to the life I had worked towards for 23 years; that of being an economist.”

While her blog was budding progressively, she made her way to Paris by winning the ‘Style Your Way to Paris Contest’ organised by the leading crystal jewellery brand, Swarovski. She was hired as a brand ambassador for Swarovski’s international campaign.

Another golden milestone which marked Niki Mehra’s career came when she was chosen by the high-end sportswear brand ‘Puma’ to interview the Hollywood celebrity, Rihanna, about the launch of her beauty brand ‘Fenty collection.’

Later, she was featured in the spreads of popular magazines like Cosmopolitan India, Grazia, Wedlook and Vogue India. Through her widely recognized blogs and other social media platforms, she was able to earn a regular income. Thereafter, she collaborated with various brands like Maybelline, Kerastase, H&M, Forever21, Amazon, etc.

Although her mother was supportive throughout her career, Niki’s family often compared her to her well-settled brother who is a graduate from IIM Ahmedabad and is working as an investment banker. In an interview, she said,
  

   My family wasn’t comfortable with the idea of me venturing into this field, partly because the concept was so new in India that barely anyone understood it and partly because I had given up a fancy job and was working from home aka in their eyes ‘sitting idle’ with no money.”

The surprise proposal went viral on the internet.
