Megalai Senthilkumar Managing Director

“I never dreamed about success. I worked for it,” said Estée Lauder, one of the most successful women entrepreneurs of the 20th century. Her words resonate deeply with women who understand that success does not distinguish between man and woman — it rewards vision, courage, and relentless effort.

Megalai embodies this spirit. With clarity of purpose and the will to persevere, she has built not just a business, but a meaningful identity that inspires others. Her leadership and strategic insight have shaped LocalBizNetwork (LBN) into a trusted service partner for small businesses across sectors. Under her guidance, LBN has evolved into a nurturing ground for raw talent — mentoring, training, and shaping professionals who are now key contributors in digital marketing and business promotion. Many who began their journey with her continue to carry forward the same work ethic and passion for excellence that define her approach.

Beyond the corporate sphere, Megalai is also a published author. In 2025, she released her spiritual travel book Sacred Sojourns, a deeply personal work that captures her journeys to temples and sacred spaces, blending devotion, storytelling, and lived experience. The book reflects another dimension of her personality — reflective, rooted, and spiritually anchored.

Her stress buster is music — both vocal and instrumental — which she pursues with genuine passion and joy.
