Yogita Aggarwal is a multifaceted woman who wears many hats – a successful 'mompreneur,' a published author, a dedicated wife, and a loving mother to her bubbly daughter, Druvika. Yogita's journey began in the world of blogging, where her passion for words led her to explore various niches such as travel, lifestyle, and fashion. As life unfolded and motherhood embraced her, Yogita transitioned into the realm of parenting content, sharing her experiences and insights with a growing audience.
Yogita's entrepreneurial spirit soared to new heights with the launch of her jewellery venture, "MyFirstLovebyYA," a one-stop shop for jewellery and accessories catering to both kids and women. From the comfort of her home, Yogita witnessed her small venture spreading its wings, thanks to the love and support of her well-wishers.
In 2021, Yogita added another feather to her cap with the publication of her first children's book, "It's Time To Say Thank You." The book, aimed at teaching children the importance of gratitude, has garnered positive reviews for its fun and exciting narrative, making it a valuable resource for parents.
