Yassmin Mistry — CEO

Born and raised in Mumbai, Yasmin Jal Mistry encapsulates the very definition of the modern-day woman – more importantly, the modern-day, Indian woman. Balancing her eclectic professional, social and personal capacities, while constantly evolving into an even better version of herself, marks the essence of her dynamic personality. Educated in Mumbai, Yasmin earned her Bachelors and Masters Degree in the Commerce stream, with a recent honorary Doctorate in Women Entrepreneurship. Her striking personality and magnetic persona had some of the top brands offering her modeling assignments and she has worked professionally with some of India’s leading brands including Sunsilk, Ponds, Raymonds, Kala Niketan, Camay and many more, through her college tenure and beyond. A fitness enthusiast, her popularity as a model continued post her college days and she was also signed on for a few Bollywood films, but the sudden passing away of her father – Jal Mistry, a much-loved and cherished industrialist and a force to reckon with in the Zoroastrian community - turned the course of Yasmin’s journey. With her only sibling, Mehru, married and settled abroad with a child, the onus of managing her father’s entire business fell on Yasmin’s young but strong shoulders. And not only did she emerge victorious by quickly learning the ropes of managing and heading the entire business, but she even expanded the same from an established Transport Organisation to a Logistics Giant – Mistry Logistics – within just 8 years (1996 to 2004), proving her mettle as a solid entrepreneur in an industry dominated by men, turning her inheritance into a legacy! She also set up a manufacturing unit - Durand Forms – and has yet another organization – Y M Securities – registered in the Bombay Stoc Exchange.
