Joining me today is Asma Lootah Founder & Owner of The Hundred Wellness Centre. Everything started in 2002, when she discovered and fell in love with Pilates. Asma has won numerous awards for her work at the Hundred, in 2010 she was awarded the Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Award for Young Business Leaders for the best business in healthcare by the Crown Prince of Dubai. She is dedicated to improving the health and quality of life of people in the UAE through her centre. Her work at The Hundred has been consistently rewarded through the years and her mission is to continue enhancing the services and the offerings of the centre and changing people’s lives for the better. 

This is part of our special series in partnership with du Business called Inspiring Growth, to celebrate entrepreneurship and highlight business success. We feature eight successful entrepreneurs and innovators who shared their personal stories to help others learn valuable lessons. Throughout the show, we will focus on growth, exploring the path of how they turned their dreams into reality.

We hope this proves to be both inspirational and valuable for those who are facing their own personal and business challenges, as always du Business is your partner to enable business and personal growth.
