Be someone who can look up to you as an inspiration. Madonandi Kuniyil Sanjuna, popularly known as Sanjuna Madonakendi on Instagram is a great example who is inspiring people with her work. Born on May 5, 1991, in a small town in Kerala, India, she comes from a family with no one from the fashion or movie background. She always loved fashion and wanted to be a model. In 2011, she graduated in Apparel fashion design from National Institute of Fashion Technology, India. After completing her studies, she worked as a junior fashion designer with a fashion firm. Simultaneously, she was pursuing her MBA in international business.

As a designer, she started working as a lingerie designer for India's renowned lingerie brand 'Zivame'. However, after a while, she left her job on a crisis and began her own clothing line named 'Sanz Couture' which designed outfits for models and private clients. With being a fantastic designer, she began her career as a model in 2015 in Bangalore. Initially, she faced a lot of rejections by agencies for being short, dark and not having that glamorous look. But that did not stop her and in the same year, she became one of the top finalists in Miss India Elegant beauty pageant.
