About Minoti Parikh
Minoti Parikh, the Founder of This Pampered Life has facilitated more than 1500 corporate events across 20 countries over the last 12 years.

Minoti lives in Leeds, but was a TV star from India. She moved to Leeds for love! (She says it is the love of her life, her husband, I suspect it is Leeds United!). After a couple of years of having long distance relationship, parents prompted them with a ‘where are you heading?’ question. Marriage followed and Minoti moved to the UK.

Minoti found fame in India as a TV presenter and as an incredibly successful Master of Ceremonies. Since being in the UK, she has founded a business called This Pampered Life.

Minoti Parikh - This Pampered Life
This Pampered Life
All of us are always so busy, all the time. You have birthdays, anniversaries and special occasions, where you celebrate with loved ones. There are actually very few times when you actually switch off from our daily routine and just celebrate who we are what we’ve done.

This Pampered Life is all about creating a personalised memory for your clients. But, Minoti calls clients “Stars”. They treat them like a star, like a VIP.

Minoti reverses the chase for people looking for experiences. She just makes it happen. She makes her stars really special and celebrated.

We have all got interesting stories, a set of achievements, realising how amazing we are.
What’s on your bucket list?
Going up in a hot-air balloon? Sky-diving? This Pampered Life will help you tick it off. This Pampered Life is about living in the present, soaking in what you are, who you are.

For Minoti, she’d like to see Bucket Lists with just experiences in them. Not about acquiring things, like houses, cars etc. It should be a lot more about memories. Creating memories. When you look back at life, it is really those memories that make the difference!

What would you like to be remembered by? Giving, enjoying.

One of the reasons why Minoti is well placed to deliver these sorts of experiences is her background in India.
Minoti the TV Star
She has been a Master of Ceremonies and TV Presenter for about 12 years in India. Minoti has presented more than 1,500 live events. Across 25 countries.

She had her own TV show for 7 years, which was a sports-based show on a national TV channel.

She has been fortunate enough to work alongside the Indian Prime Minister, also the President of India. The biggest names in terms of sports personalities. Movie stars. Industrialists.

Minoti has had the opportunity to work for the biggest companies. The biggest MNCs (multi-national companies) in the world – Apple, Samsung, Volkswagen, General Motors.

When she was an MC, it was really about creating special experiences. Typically, their events are a bigger scale, with larger audiences. From hundreds to 20,000 people. Her MC role was about creating special moments through the event.

It has always been about recognising others. Making them feel special. The medium has been slightly different to This Pampered Life, but the message has been pretty much the same.

Back in India, Minoti lead a very busy life. One quick tip: have 4 suitcases ready! She was often literally in and out of the City of Mumbai. So, having a suitcase, fully equipped for the next event, was a secret to success!
