Silvia Vianello's Instagram (IG) page is like a modern-day atlas. Row by row, you scroll from Abu Dhabi, Ecuador and Barbados, to Miami, Maldives and Rome. And what's better than that? It's all luxury — the hotels, resorts, fashion and cars that Vianello poses with. The 39-year-old has always travelled in luxury, but then people started asking her, "Can you show us the world?" That's why she started an IG account. With over 7.7 lakh followers now, she recalls how it all started in Venice, where she hails from.

"I started working as a model when I was 14 to fund my studies, and did that for 10 years. I also began consulting with companies when I was 16 — in industries including luxury, automobiles, fashion, pharmaceuticals, banking and insurance. I undertook projects regarding international marketing, innovation and technology, omnichannel strategy, and customer relationship management (CRM)," she shares from Dubai, where she is conducting a design-thinking workshop for one of the biggest gas companies in Europe.
