CRUSADERS OF TOXIN-FREE PRODUCTS
GHAZAL & VARUN ALAGH, FOUNDERS, MAMAEARTH
The idea of a 100 per cent toxin-free baby products brand MamaEarth occurred to Varun Alagh and his partner and co-founder Ghazal when they became parents and had a difficult time finding chemical-free products for their son. Starting up with your spouse is like embarking on the adventure of a lifetime with your best friend. “It is one of the best things that happened to us but not without the ups and downs that come with starting any business. Trust and appreciation are the most important between partners for a successful relationship, whether it is business or marriage,” says Ghazal.
LIVING DREAMS TOGETHER
In a span of three years, Mamaearth has launched a range of 80+ natural products, has reached over 1.5 million customers in 500 Indian cities, and is the fastest-growing FMCG start-ups to hit 100 crore run rate. Driven by innovation, the start-up uses the best of science and ayurveda to stand out in the personal care space.
Talking about the rules the couple plays by, Ghazal has an advice to offer. She says, “Raise your start-up like you would raise your own baby, trust your instincts and ask for help whenever you need it. Be honest and ethical.” The couple is particular about not discussing work issues at home and spending an hour together after office as a couple, and not as business partners.
