Joujou was born in New Delhi and was educated at Tara Hall, a Catholic boarding school in Simla, the summer capital of India. After completing her undergraduate degree in Economics from New Delhi University, she was then introduced to her future husband to be, Piri Chawla, in the traditional "match-making" custom and became engaged to him within 14 hours.

In 1980, she joined her husband in the United States and after living in New York and Texas for a few years, they moved to California in 1985 and settled in Blackhawk. She started selling real estate in Dallas, Texas in 1982, and started working for Blackhawk Properties/Blackhawk Realty in 1985 where her dedication and hard work set the tone for what would set her apart from all other agents. She practiced real estate with Blackhawk Properties/Blackhawk Realty from 1985 to 1991. In 1991 she obtained her brokerage license and became a co-owner of the company which was then renamed Blackhawk Real Estate Company.

In this capacity, she also functioned as the CFO of the organization for nearly 10 years. In 2008, her company merged with J. Rockcliff to become one of the most powerful companies in the Bay Area’s real estate market. With the two combined companies, the market share they control is unmatched.
