Meet Khushi Patel

We recently connected with Khushi Patel and have shared our conversation below.

Khushi, so many exciting things to discuss, we can’t wait. Thanks for joining us and we appreciate you sharing your wisdom with our readers. So, maybe we can start by discussing optimism and where your optimism comes from?

My optimism comes from experience; from learning that even in moments of uncertainty, something good is always unfolding. I choose to focus on growth, connection, and gratitude, because that’s where light lives.

Appreciate the insights and wisdom. Before we dig deeper and ask you about the skills that matter and more, maybe you can tell our readers about yourself?

I founded XVI to create skincare that’s thoughtful, organic, and meaningful. Our flagship product, AURORA, cares for people while giving back through our Good Karma initiative.

Professionally, I’m focused on growing the brand while staying true to its heart: wellness, sustainability, and positive impact.

Personally, I’m driven by curiosity, connection, and the joy of making a difference wherever I can.

Looking back, what do you think were the three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge that were most impactful in your journey? What advice do you have for folks who are early in their journey in terms of how they can best develop or improve on these?

1. Creativity & Vision – Seeing opportunities to innovate and connect.
2. Strategic Thinking – Growing a brand thoughtfully and sustainably.
3. Empathy & Connection – Building meaningful relationships with people and community.

Before we go, any advice you can share with people who are feeling overwhelmed?

When I feel overwhelmed, I step back, prioritize, and break things into manageable pieces. A walk, journaling, or a few minutes of mindfulness helps me reset, and I remind myself it’s okay to ask for help. Small steps and self-care turn overwhelm into clarity.
