We sat down with Jeanette Mesquita, a fashion influencer with a community of over 200K followers to ask her how the life of an influencer is really like. Jeanette has been an influencer for about 4 years now and we asked her how it all started off. "I began my journey as a blogger in 2016, and it was a hobby back then; I never thought it would become my full time job someday." Jeanette studied Law undergrad at Christ (deemed to be University) where she realized this was not her true calling and she needs to pursue something else. "Around my third year of college I fell super sick and had to be hospitalized. After I came out of that is when I realized that we only have one life and I was going to live it to the fullest."

Jeanette was not exposed to the world of Influencers and the aspect of social media monetization before she came to Bangalore. "I stumbled upon Santoshi Shetty's profile one day, I remember and I stalked her, obviously! And while I was scrolling I thought to myself : I can do this too!" Styling was always my go-to stress buster and turning that into a job was a dream come true. What started off as an escape from my then monotonous life at Christ University then became a full blown profession!
