About Yassmin Mistry

Born and raised in Mumbai, Yasmin Jal Mistry encapsulates the very definition of the
modern-day woman – more importantly, the modern-day, Indian woman. Balancing her
eclectic professional, social and personal capacities, while constantly evolving into an even
better version of herself, marks the essence of her dynamic personality.

Educated in Mumbai, Yasmin earned her Bachelors and Masters Degree in the Commerce
stream, with a recent honorary Doctorate in Women Entrepreneurship. Her striking
personality and magnetic persona had some of the top brands offering her modeling
assignments and she has worked professionally with some of India’s leading brands
including Sunsilk, Ponds, Raymonds, Kala Niketan, Camay and many more, through her
college tenure and beyond.

A fitness enthusiast, her popularity as a model continued post her college days and she was
also signed on for a few Bollywood films, but the sudden passing away of her father – Jal
Mistry, a much-loved and cherished industrialist and a force to reckon with in the
Zoroastrian community – turned the course of Yasmin’s journey. With her only sibling,
Mehru, married and settled abroad with a child, the onus of managing her father’s entire
business fell on Yasmin’s young but strong shoulders.

And not only did she emerge victorious by quickly learning the ropes of managing and
heading the entire business, but she even expanded the same from an established
Transport Organisation to a Logistics Giant – Mistry Logistics – within just 8 years (1996 to
2004), proving her mettle as a solid entrepreneur in an industry dominated by men, turning
her inheritance into a legacy! She also set up a manufacturing unit – Durand Forms – and
has yet another organization – Y M Securities – registered in the Bombay Stoc Exchange.
