Meet Shobha Sharma | Data Scientist by Training, Entrepreneur by Passion
We had the good fortune of connecting with Shobha Sharma and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Shobha, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
The thought process behind starting Nexus Point Luxe was deeply rooted in my passion for fashion, sustainability, and the evolving needs of modern women. I wanted to create a brand that doesn’t just offer luxury apparel but also redefines what luxury means—moving beyond exclusivity to include sustainability, ethical production, and versatility.
I saw a gap in the industry where high-end fashion and conscious consumerism often seemed at odds. Women today want to invest in beautiful, well-crafted pieces, but they also care about the impact of their choices. That’s where Nexus Point Luxe comes in—merging timeless elegance with responsible fashion.
Beyond fashion, I wanted to create an impact. Being an employer comes with responsibilities, but also with opportunities—to uplift, empower, and create change. At Nexus Point Luxe, we prioritize hiring women, embracing diversity and inclusivity, and giving opportunities to those who have taken a career break to focus on their families. Why should women have to choose between a career and family when they can have it all? Our brand is not just about what we create but about the community we build and the doors we open for women everywhere.
What should our readers know about your business?
I see Nexus Point Luxe as more than just a luxury fashion brand—it’s a movement toward sustainable, ethical, and inclusive fashion. We are taking baby steps in redefining luxury by combining timeless elegance with responsible practices, ensuring women don’t have to choose between style and sustainability.
What sets us apart is our purpose. Beyond creating beautiful apparel, we will create opportunities to empower women through ethical hiring, diversity, and supporting those returning to the workforce. I’m most proud of the impact we’re making—not just in fashion but in people’s lives.
The journey hasn’t been easy. Leaving a stable career to start a business while being a mother came with challenges—financial risks, industry complexities, and self-doubt. Overcoming them required resilience, adaptability, and a strong support system. I leaned on my family, sought mentorship, and embraced continuous learning.
The biggest lesson? Success isn’t about having all the answers but about evolving, staying true to your purpose, and pushing forward despite setbacks. Nexus Point Luxe is here to prove that luxury and sustainability can coexist—and that women should never have to choose between ambition and family.
If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Well, if my best friend has never been to Dallas, I’d have to do some serious convincing! Let’s be honest—Dallas isn’t exactly known for scenic drives or having a never-ending ‘must-see’ list. But after living here for over two years, I’ve come to see the city in a whole new light!
Dallas is full of surprises, starting with its incredible food scene. In fact, we even have one of the best-rated restaurants according to The New York Times—because yes, even they couldn’t ignore our culinary excellence! From mouthwatering Tex-Mex and legendary steakhouses to innovative fine dining, this city knows how to eat well.
And while we may not have beaches or mountains, we have White Rock Lake for a peaceful escape, Deep Ellum for live music and nightlife, and of course, AT&T Stadium for that real Texas energy. Plus, let’s not forget the arts—our Dallas Arts District is the largest in the U.S., packed with world-class museums and performances.
Most importantly, Dallasites are some of the most welcoming people you’ll meet. So yes, it might take some persuasion to get my best friend here, but once they experience the food, culture, and unexpected charm, they’ll wonder why they didn’t visit sooner!
Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
Absolutely! I am definitely not a solo runner—my journey has been shaped by the unwavering support of those around me. First and foremost, I want to express my deepest gratitude to my husband. In today’s economy, being able to leave a stable job to pursue my passion was only possible because of his support. Coming from a middle-class background, I understand the importance of financial stability, and knowing that our family is well taken care of has been the greatest relief, allowing me the mental space to fully commit to my vision.
Beyond financial support, the emotional encouragement he provides—especially during the inevitable challenges of entrepreneurship—is invaluable. As a new business owner, navigating uncertainty is constant, and having a partner who stands by me in those moments makes all the difference.
I also want to recognize my family for their unwavering support, especially as I balance motherhood and entrepreneurship. Being a business owner while raising a toddler is no easy feat, but with the love and encouragement of my family, I have been able to pursue this dream with confidence.
Additionally, I am deeply grateful for the mentors, colleagues, and inspiring women who have influenced my journey. Their wisdom, guidance, and belief in my vision have pushed me forward. And of course, I owe a great deal to my team and the growing community that supports Nexus Point Luxe. Their encouragement fuels my passion every day, reminding me why I started this journey in the first place.
