Say hello to Shilpa, the heart and soul behind Apex Dental Clinics Group, co-founded with her life partner, Ajoy. For the past seven years, they’ve been nurturing a space where dental care goes hand in hand with community warmth. \ud83e\udd1d

At Apex, it’s all about offering comprehensive dental care\u2014or as Shilpa likes to call it, “Community Friendly Dental Care.” This isn’t just a slogan; it’s a family affair, with their young son playing a significant role in the clinic’s day-to-day life. They’re not just talking about community values; they’re living them.

Shilpa’s journey to this point is both diverse and rich. Armed with an MBA and a degree in Microbiology, she has a solid background in marketing, with more than a decade of experience across various fields like Telecom and Airlines. This eclectic mix of knowledge and experience has shaped her into a leader who sees beyond the balance sheet. \ud83d\udcdd

But here’s what truly makes Shilpa stand out: she’s more than just a successful entrepreneur. She’s someone who believes in the power of kindness and community. In a world where business can often be about the ‘survival of the fittest,’ Shilpa chooses a path less traveled. She’s proof that success can be achieved by putting people and values first, making her business a platform for fostering community connections rather than just chasing profits. \ud83d\udcb0
