After school she received a specialty "teacher of elementary grades and mathematics" at the Michurinsk State Pedagogical Institute (MGPI).[8][9] In 2006 she graduated from the Stockholm School of Economics Russia, course of business development Entrepreneur Essential 4.[10]

After graduating from the institute in 1992 she moved to Moscow. At the beginning of her life in the capital, she worked in an Italian clothing company and on a project for a night show on the water in the Chaika pool. Later, working as a promoter at one of the exhibitions, Sindeyeva met with producer Pavel Vashchekin and later became his personal assistant.[9] At that time, she established contacts with future key figures in the media market:  [Wikidata], the founder of the  [ru], radio producer  [Wikidata],  [Wikidata] and Otar Kushanashvili.[10] In 1993, she moved to the 2x2 TV channel, where she worked her way up from secretary to producer of the Thousand and One Nights TV show.[8]

While working on 2x2 Natalya met her future husband  [ru] and together with him started creating the FM radio station Silver Rain.[8] While working on the radio, Sindeyeva met a Russian businessman and restaurateur Jamil Asfari,[11] who became her second husband.

Many well-known journalists were brought to work at the radio station.

The exact amount of investment in the holding has not been disclosed, but by mid-2013, according to some estimates, the total investment in the channel alone could have reached $40 million.[16]

The total revenue of the holding in 2012, according to Russian Accounting Standards, amounted to 433 million rubles. The TV channel accounted for almost 66% — 285 million rubles, the Slon.ru portal (created in 2009) — 20%, the rest – the magazine and website Bolshoi Gorod (acquired in 2010).
