The Posh Frock Shop - Episode 18
Charity Gala host Darshana has organised everything except her dress.
Darshana Ubl builds businesses around the things she values: beautiful design, shared experiences and bringing people together.
A serial entrepreneur and co-founder of Verve Rally® and Mayfairsilk®, she combines commercial ambition with an instinct for creating brands people feel part of.
Launched in 2016, Verve Rally brings GT and supercar enthusiasts together for exceptional driving journeys. Think remarkable roads, standout hotels and friendships that last long after the engines have cooled. The award-winning London-based brand has welcomed hundreds of guests from around the world.
In 2020, Darshana co-founded Mayfairsilk, a British beauty, sleep and interiors brand. Its award-winning collection brings together pure Mulberry silk, distinctive prints and thoughtful design, making everyday essentials feel anything but ordinary. She is now focused on expanding Mayfairsilk globally, with particular emphasis on Asia and the Middle East.
Away from building brands, Darshana is a familiar voice in business commentary. She has appeared on BBC News, Sky News and BBC Radio, discussing entrepreneurship, the economy and what government policy means for small businesses.
Her speaking engagements have taken her to audiences at Alibaba, DBS Bank, NatWest and SagePay, covering business growth, women’s empowerment and sustainability. She has shared her TripleWin® approach on the TEDx stage and, as CEO, led a company to achieve a Guinness World Records® title.
Giving back runs through her work. Darshana has helped raise funds for organisations including The Prince’s Trust, Invictus Games, the Cherie Blair Foundation for Women and Make-A-Wish UK®, alongside organising the Verve Charity Gala in central London.
