Today, Sumit Israni continues to lead Geetanjali with the same belief that shaped his early career: beauty should help people feel confident and comfortable in themselves. Looking ahead, his vision is to grow Geetanjali to over 500 salons and studios across India while building an Indian lifestyle brand with a strong global presence. At the centre of this growth remains a clear focus on beauty, wellness, creativity and a consistently thoughtful client experience.
Beauty that moves India
Nearly 37 years ago, Geetanjali began with a simple yet powerful belief—that beauty is not just about transformation, but about confidence, self-expression, and feeling your best.
Founded with Mr. Sumit Israni’s passion for creativity, craftsmanship, and the art of hair and beauty, Geetanjali started with a vision to redefine the salon experience through expertise, innovation, and personalized care. What began as a single salon has today grown into a trusted beauty brand with 200+ salons and studios across 50+ cities, supported by a community of over 5,000 trained professionals. Beyond delivering exceptional salon experiences, Geetanjali continues to invest in the future of the industry through education and training, nurturing talent and creating opportunities for aspiring beauty professionals across India.
Through every milestone, the vision remains unchanged—to celebrate individuality, create
meaningful connections, and help every person look their best and feel their most confident.
Nearly 37 years ago, Geetanjali began with a simple belief: that beauty, when done with honesty & skill, should help you feel more like yourself, not someone else. Today, that belief has grown into a nationwide ecosystem of over 200 salons across 50+ cities, supported by a community of 5,000+ trained professionals who bring that same standard of care to life every day.
Along the way, the vision expanded beyond clients to the professionals behind the chair. Training, upskilling, and empowering hairdressers across India became just as important as serving customers well. At its core, however, Geetanjali remains unchanged committed to personalised care, and helping every individual feel like the best version of who they already are.

“To be India’s most trusted and innovative beauty destination, setting new benchmarks in premium salon experiences while empowering individuals with confidence through expert hair and beauty services. Aspiring to be the world’s most trusted salon brand in the coming years.”

The Founder’s Story
Mr. Sumit Israni
Managing Director | Celebrity Hair Designer
