Ghazal Alagh, a Haryana-based entrepreneur, is the co-founder of Mamaearth, a leading brand for toxin-free baby and personal care products in India. Her journey began when she struggled to find safe, toxin-free products for her own son, which eventually led her to start her own venture.
Born into a middle-class family, Alagh earned a BCA degree and worked as a corporate trainer in the IT sector, where she earned a daily wage of ₹1,200. In 2016, she and her husband launched the Mamaearth startup with an initial investment of ₹25 lakhs.
The motivation behind the brand is deeply personal. Her son, Agastya, suffered from a skin condition, and Alagh was unable to find safe, toxin-free baby products in the market. This personal challenge inspired her to create Mamaearth.
Today, Mamaearth holds the distinction of being the first brand in Asia to receive the "Made Safe" label. The brand has expanded its product line from baby care to include a wide range of skincare and cosmetic products, establishing itself as a popular and trusted name in the industry.
