India's $34Bn beauty secret

I served as the Vice-President of India’s largest domestic consumer venture capital firm, Sixth Sense Ventures where I led notable investments worth $10 Mn in ProcMart, Stylam Industries and Parag Milk Foods while also managing a portfolio of $80Mn including companies like Bira.

Over the years, I have evaluated the beauty and personal care (BPC) space very deeply, having managed Ras, a luxury BPC company in our portfolio, and interacted with the founders of Bombay Shaving Company, Plum, Medimix and many more companies. Moreover, I have also spent good time on the ground – speaking to distributors, retailers, brand managers, fellow investors to understand the realities. My take is that BPC is a beautiful (quite literally!) space, packed with opportunities but a complicated one too. Moreover, it’s too crowded, so many players! How do you stand out? Where is the real opportunity? I have packed all my learnings and interactions into this 2 hour, content packed workshop, “India’s $34Bn beauty secret “  

I know you guys like to look at the instructor’s academics too – I’m a gold medal MBA graduate from the Indian School of Business and a rank-holder Chartered Accountant.

But the most important point, teaching is my passion, a passion that took me to Narsee Monjee College of Commerce and Economics as the youngest visiting professor back in 2017. I have been teaching and mentoring students ever since.
