Please tell us a little about your entrepreneurial journey

Deepali Bansal: I was already a mom blogger and had started her entrepreneurial journey with cosmopolitan shop ds.(insta page with offerings specifically for content creators and make up artists).

My skin had some issues for which I tried all skin care products, but none suited me and in fact, some even caused a few allergies. Then I got products from international brands that weren’t available in India at that time, and I could see visible changes in my skin, but these products were really expensive and tough to source, so that was the eureka moment.

Then, with the support of my husband, Mr. Rahul Bansal, I started the search to find the best manufacturers in India and get products made that match the international standards, are suitable for Indian skin types, and are at the same time affordable.
