Dr Anisha Sanghavi and her husband Dr Mitesh Sanghavi founded Incredible Smiles, a group of dental practices with five locations around Adelaide.

Anisha joined the Women in Business Advisory Program to sharpen her leadership approach and strengthen her team.

The structured mentoring and peer learning gave her insights to make strategic decisions within her business, as well as the networks to ensure she didn’t have to do it alone.

“The program shed light on the importance of establishing a strong leadership team and facilitating that team with monthly meetings for continued support. This is as well as learning how to consolidate the complex accounting for our seven entities, this goes on behind the scenes.”
