Riya Kalsotra is an Indian entrepreneur, author, cyber security enthusiast, and emerging researcher committed to creating meaningful solutions through technology, science, entrepreneurship, and innovation. Born on 25 January 2007 in Gurdaspur, Punjab, India, she has consistently pursued knowledge beyond conventional academic boundaries, believing that true innovation comes from combining education with practical skills, research, and entrepreneurial thinking.
Riya Kalsotra completed her education from Nursery through Grade 12 at HRA International School, Gurdaspur, where she developed a strong interest in computer science, emerging technologies, and scientific thinking. She later enrolled in the Integrated Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Education (B.A.-B.Ed.) program at Dashmesh Girls College, Chak Alla Baksh, Mukerian, affiliated with Punjab University, Chandigarh. At the same time, she chose to pursue a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science at the University of the People, California, USA. Managing two university degrees simultaneously reflects her commitment to continuous learning and multidisciplinary development.
Alongside her academic journey, Riya Kalsotra established herself as an author with a passion for technology and educational reform. She wrote “Phantom Lockdown: The Era of Hack-Proof Servers,” a technology-focused book that explores server security, cyber security principles, and strategies for building resilient digital infrastructure against modern cyber threats. Her second book, “An Advanced Education Policy: A Blueprint for a Modern India,” presents a vision for transforming India’s education system by integrating academic learning with practical skills, innovation, entrepreneurship, and digital literacy.
While education and writing remain important parts of her journey, entrepreneurship has become the defining pillar of her long-term vision.
In March 2026, Riya Kalsotra co-founded Glouris Private Limited, where she serves as the Director and Chief Executive Officer (CEO). Glouris Private Limited was established with the mission of developing premium skincare and haircare products by combining advanced cosmetic science with carefully selected, scientifically approved, and botanical ingredients. The company’s objective is to create formulations that are innovative, effective, research-driven, and capable of delivering visible results while embracing the strengths of both nature and science.
Unlike many conventional cosmetic brands that rely solely on herbal remedies or synthetic formulations, Glouris follows a balanced, science-backed approach. Every product developed by Glouris Private Limited integrates modern cosmetic research, clinically recognized active ingredients, and nature-inspired botanical extracts to promote healthier skin and hair. The company is committed to quality, safety, transparency, and continuous innovation.
To strengthen her expertise, Riya Kalsotra completed professional training in soap making and cosmetic manufacturing. Since then, she has actively studied formulation science, ingredient research, and product development. Over the past year, she and her team at Glouris Private Limited have focused on developing next-generation skincare and haircare formulations by combining evidence-based cosmetic ingredients with carefully selected Ayurvedic extracts.
Beyond entrepreneurship, Riya Kalsotra founded India Dance Fever in 2024, a nationwide digital platform created to discover and promote talented dancers through online competitions and awards. She also plans to launch cyber security awareness initiatives focused on online safety, banking security, digital privacy, and fraud prevention.
Riya Kalsotra believes that education, innovation, entrepreneurship, and research are closely interconnected. Through Glouris Private Limited, her work as an author, and her future contributions to cyber security, she aims to inspire young people to dream boldly, build with purpose, and create meaningful change through knowledge, science, and technology.
