Business Owner

Chitra Soerdjbalie is an international model, entrepreneur, and the founder of Curated Moments by Chitra. With Dutch and Indian roots, she has built a personal brand centered around confidence, authenticity, meaningful connections, and female leadership.

Her modelling journey gained international momentum when she stepped onto her first international runway during Milan Fashion Week in 2022. Since then, Chitra has continued to expand her presence within the fashion industry, working with brands, designers, photographers, and creatives who share her belief that fashion should celebrate individuality, confidence, and representation. As a curvy model, she is passionate about challenging traditional beauty standards and encouraging others to embrace who they are unapologetically.

Alongside her modelling career, Chitra founded Curated Moments by Chitra, an event planning business dedicated to creating thoughtfully curated personal and business events. From intimate celebrations to professional gatherings, her mission is to transform ideas into memorable experiences that bring people together and leave a lasting impression.

Although fashion and event planning may appear to be different worlds, Chitra sees a strong connection between the two. Both are built on storytelling, presentation, attention to detail, and the ability to create experiences that inspire, connect, and empower people. Through both brands, she helps individuals and businesses show up with confidence and authenticity.

As a passionate advocate for female leadership and personal growth, Chitra believes that success is not about fitting into predefined expectations, but about creating your own opportunities and leading with purpose. Through her work, she hopes to inspire others to embrace their visibility, pursue ambitious goals, and build a life and career that reflect who they truly are.

Through her articles for Brainz Magazine, Chitra shares insights on confidence, representation, entrepreneurship, personal branding, female leadership, and the power of creating meaningful experiences.
