In an industry driven by glamour and precision, it’s rare to find a story as deeply personal—and as powerful—as Shweta Dogra’s. Today, she stands tall as a Director at Seven Star, one of India’s leading luxury wedding companies, with a footprint that now spans all the way to Canada. But her path to success wasn’t lined with red carpets—it was paved with resilience, reinvention, and an unshakeable commitment to inclusivity.
💍 A Young Bride, A Brave Mother
Shweta’s journey began in Delhi, where she married young and soon gave birth to her first child—who was later diagnosed with autism. At a time when most women are still discovering themselves, she found herself navigating motherhood, emotional upheaval, and the unfamiliar terrain of raising a child with special needs.
But instead of crumbling under the weight of expectations, Shweta transformed her challenges into fuel. She moved to Bangalore—a city where she didn’t speak the language, didn’t know the networks, and had no formal business training. And yet, she rewrote the rulebook.
🌸 The Rise of a Wedding Powerhouse
What began as a one-woman operation quickly blossomed into a name that commands respect in India’s competitive wedding industry. With her innate eye for detail, tireless work ethic, and ability to remain calm under pressure, Shweta became the go-to name for luxury weddings in Bangalore. From multi-day destination celebrations to intimate, themed affairs—if it had Shweta’s touch, it had elegance, emotion, and excellence.
As word spread, so did her business. Today, as Director of Seven Star, Shweta leads a team that offers complete wedding solutions—from décor and planning to custom products and immersive experiences. Her brand has become synonymous with perfection.
🌎 Taking Indian Weddings Global
Recognizing the global appetite for grand Indian weddings, Shweta expanded Seven Star’s reach to Canada, helping expand international operations and offering services to Indian families overseas. In a short span, she has helped orchestrate seamless cross-border weddings—bringing Indian traditions to life on foreign shores, with the same warmth and authenticity that define her brand.
Her move into the international market is more than a business decision—it reflects her deep understanding of diasporic needs, cultural nuance, and the emotional depth that Indian weddings carry.
🐾 An Office Full of Tails and Love
Despite her demanding schedule, Shweta’s office isn’t just a headquarters for events—it’s also home to over 15 rescued dogs. A passionate animal lover, she has cared for and mothered strays who now freely roam her workspace. For her, compassion isn’t a weekend cause—it’s woven into the everyday fabric of life.
Her team affectionately calls her “the dog mother,” and it’s not uncommon to see a wagging tail at client meetings. “They make our office happier and more humane,” she smiles.
💛 A Foundation of Hope: Anmol
It was her experience as a mother to an autistic child that gave birth to her most meaningful venture yet—Anmol Foundation.
Seeing the lack of support and empathy for children with special needs, Shweta was determined to change the narrative—not just for her son, but for thousands like him. Anmol Foundation was created to provide training, life skills, and work opportunities for specially abled individuals, helping them lead lives of dignity and independence.
“At Seven Star Wedding Decor Mall Bengaluru, we’re more than just decorations; we’re a family that believes in nurturing dreams through our Anmol Foundation. It’s here that our special interns, each with their unique abilities, receive training and become a vital part of our work.”
From helping with light decorations to managing backend operations, the interns are not just included—they’re celebrated.
🎬 A Movie Day to Remember
Recently, Shweta took the interns from Anmol Foundation on a **movie outing to see Aamir Khan’s ‘Sitare Zameen Par’ at Inox Insignia, Mall of Asia. For many, it was their first time in a theatre, and the joy was unmistakable.
They began the experience with a fun popcorn tasting session, where interns got to try and choose their own flavors—something seemingly small, but deeply empowering. From butter to caramel, it was a sensory adventure.
Inside the theatre, there was laughter, excitement, and even some dancing in the aisles. It wasn’t just a movie screening—it was a celebration of inclusion and joy.
Shweta was visibly moved.
“I felt incredibly happy and overwhelmed seeing the interns have such a great time. It reminded me why Anmol Foundation exists.”
The interns’ reactions say it all:
Yashas: “This is my first experience… I am very happy.”
Medha: “I don’t want this to get over—when are we coming back?”
Khatiza:“Thank you so much for giving me this experience. You are the best Mom.”
It was a day none of them—and none of the staff—will ever forget.
Beyond Business: A Life of Meaning
What makes Shweta Dogra extraordinary isn’t just her meteoric rise in a competitive industry. It’s the fact that she has done it while lifting others along the way—dogs, children, parents, and young professionals.
She’s a woman who has planned celebrity weddings by day and sat with parents of autistic children by night. She’s a CEO who worries as much about her canine family as she does about her client budgets. She’s a mother who turned her personal battle into a public mission.
In a world full of event managers, Shweta Dogra is a force of nature. A nurturer. A builder. A quiet revolutionary with a heart full of love—and a calendar full of weddings.
