Ghanshyam Gadhadara ’s journey is a story of constant practice and dedication towards styling. At the Eurasia ABMU Golden Cup 2025 in Yerevan, Armenia, Ghanshyam triumphed by securing 1st place in the highly competitive and the most difficult: Evening Gala category, known for its demanding artistic styling and creative depth without extensions.
Inspired and mentored by the legendary Vazha Mkhitaryan, who trained him in Russia and Kazakhstan, Ghanshyam learned the importance of patience and continuous practice. “Vazha was 60 years old but had incredible energy and wouldn’t mind answering the same question ten times. I bring that same dedication to my teaching in India,” Ghanshyam shares. Since joining CMC in 2016 and beginning competition in 2018, he has continuously honed his skills and broadened his artistic vision.
Based in Surat, Ghanshyam is both an award-winning stylist and an influential educator who has trained over 20,000 students across India and internationally. His academy enjoys a high re-enrolment rate, with 50% of his students coming from all over India, plus batches from Malaysia. His expertise and dedication have even earned him honors from the Chief Minister of Gujarat, affirming his significant role in elevating India’s beauty and wellness sector.
What sets Ghanshyam apart is not just his competitive success, but his full-time dedication to perfecting his craft. Observations reveal him tirelessly practicing on dummies, constantly styling, undoing, and restyling to achieve perfection. This relentless drive makes him a role model for aspiring stylists nationally.
