How Ghazal Alagh Started Mama Earth

Ghazal was born in Chandigarh on September 2, 1988, and completed her schooling in Gurgaon.

Although she was good in her studies, her decision to take a non-medical stream in 10+2 was not good.

She realized soon that her maths was not good and completed her graduation in Computer Science from Panjab University and later a Degree in Fine Arts from the New York Academy of Arts.

In 2008, she used to work as a corporate trainer at NIIT for 2 years. She got married to Varun Alagh and moved to the Philippines.

Everything was going well and this is when she started to work on a start-up, Diet Expert, that aimed to provide solutions to those who are struggling with weight loss as she was too at the time.

The start-up picked up a bit but didn’t do well in the market. Something similar happened with her second venture.

By this time, she knew what she had to do in life. They came back to India and welcomed their baby boy, Agastya.

This was the turning point in her life. Agastya was diagnosed with a skin condition and as his skin was delicate and sensitive, any product applied would result in rashes, redness, or discomfort.

This is when she realized a need for a brand that offers good quality baby products at affordable prices as she used to get those products for her baby from outside India at a high cost.

The parents went on a mission to make products for babies that are gentle and safe for their skin.

The first range of products was launched in September 2016 and since then there has been no looking back. It back viral and now the brand does not only focus on babies but complete skin care for everyone.

Mama Earth IPO was launched in 2023 at a market cap of Rs 10,425 Cr.
