Power, Purpose, Progress: Celebrating Women Entrepreneurs This International Women’s Day

New Delhi, Mar 05: International Women’s Day serves as a powerful reminder that leadership today takes many forms—shaped as much by resilience and empathy as by strategy and scale. Across industries such as healthcare, beauty, wellness, hospitality, travel, mental health, and food innovation, women entrepreneurs are not just participating in the economy—they are redefining it.

Power, Purpose, Progress: Celebrating Women Entrepreneurs This International Women’s Day

 This year, a diverse collective of founders and leaders is being spotlighted for their role in shaping industries, introducing new standards, and building purpose-driven businesses. From medical innovation and clean beauty to culinary entrepreneurship and mental health advocacy, these women demonstrate how ambition, when combined with purpose and perseverance, creates lasting impact.

Among them is Saloni Anand, Co-Founder of Traya, who launched the digital health platform in 2019 with a mission to address hair fall as a medical concern rather than a cosmetic issue. By introducing research-backed, personalised treatment plans, she helped expand structured hair health solutions across India, including non-metro regions.

Naina Parekh, Co-Founder of EUME, brought global expertise in luxury brand management and strategic negotiation to India’s travel accessories market. Her patented massager backpack concept reflects the innovative thinking driving women-led businesses in traditionally male-dominated sectors.

In the field of dermatology, Dr. Chytra V. Anand, Founder of Kosmoderma Clinics and SkinQ, has played a pivotal role in elevating cosmetic dermatology standards in India. Internationally trained and deeply committed to education, she has trained more than 2,000 doctors globally, contributing significantly to advancements in aesthetic medicine and skin-of-colour science.

Women founders are also redefining India’s beauty and skincare industry. Divya Malpani Maheshwari, Founder and CEO of Skinvest, transformed her personal struggle with acne into a science-driven skincare brand tailored for Indian skin. Similarly, Supriya Malik, Founder of Indulgeo Essentials, helped shape India’s clean beauty movement by blending traditional ingredient knowledge with modern formulation and sustainable practices.

Entrepreneurial resilience is also reflected in Laxmi Asrani, Co-Founder and Director of Skinwood Luxury Aesthetic Centre, whose journey from overcoming MDR-TB to building a premium aesthetic clinic highlights the power of determination. Meanwhile, Archana Mayekar, Founder of Archana Wellness Clinic, has pioneered a holistic approach to wellness by integrating therapies across nutrition, fitness, and mind–body care.

In the organic beauty space, Megha Asher, Co-Founder and COO of Juicy Chemistry, has led operations for a brand built on certified organic formulations and community engagement. Pratishtha Rawat, Founder of Glow Glossary, is part of a new generation of entrepreneurs promoting conscious consumption and functional wellness, bringing matcha-based nutrition concepts into everyday lifestyle products.

Entrepreneurship stories also emerge from unexpected beginnings. Arshia Kaur, Founder of Tint Cosmetics, began by creating lip glosses in her bedroom and went on to build a rapidly growing beauty brand. Dr. Mikki Singh, Founder and Medical Director of Bodycraft Clinics, has helped transform aesthetic dermatology into a confidence-building and preventive healthcare approach rather than a purely cosmetic service.

In the hospitality and lifestyle sectors, Renu Kant, Founder of Envi Salon and Spa, has expanded her salon brand across major cities, while Swati Gupta, Capability Director and Head of Creative Development at Bodycraft, has strengthened professional training systems in India’s organised salon industry.

The beauty and cosmetics sector continues to see innovation through founders like Nikita Jain, Founder of re/do Beauty, who is blending skincare with makeup to create performance-driven cosmetic products.

Beyond beauty and wellness, women entrepreneurs are shaping mental health and community spaces. Ayesha Sharma, Founder of Dialogue Mental Health and a UCL-trained psychotherapist, is building trauma-informed and inclusive counselling services in India. Natasha Hemani, Brand Director of Blondie by Bastian, is redefining hospitality through community-focused café culture.

Food and beverage entrepreneurship is also witnessing remarkable women-led growth. Chef Ayushi Agarwal, Founder of Creme Cookies, built a successful dessert brand from a lockdown experiment, now run by an all-women team. Gayatri Chona, Founder of Phab, is transforming the snacking industry with protein-rich, flavour-forward products designed to bridge the gap between indulgence and nutrition.

Similarly, Vasuki Punj, Founder of Frozen Fun, transitioned from a career in international law to launching a premium gelato brand centred on craftsmanship and quality.

Creative entrepreneurship is represented by Shrruti Saraff, a Mumbai-based luxury makeup artist known for her work with high-net-worth clients and celebrity families at high-profile events. Her skin-first approach and precision have positioned her among India’s most trusted beauty professionals.

In the fragrance industry, Sharvi Mehta, Founder and CEO of Daily Compounds, is introducing a new generation of gender-neutral, formulation-focused scents rooted in transparency and scientific integrity.

While their industries differ, their journeys share a common thread—determination, innovation, and a commitment to building businesses with purpose. Together, these women entrepreneurs represent the evolving face of leadership in India.

Their stories are not exceptions but powerful examples of what sustained vision and conviction can achieve, shaping industries while inspiring the next generation of women leaders.

Sachin Sawrikar Flags Risks as Rupee Weakness and Oil Prices Pressure Investor Sentiment

By:- Mr. Sachin Sawrikar Managing Partner, of the Rs 9000 crore Artha Bharat Investment Managers IFSC LLP

“The movement of the Indian Rupee must be viewed in the context of global dollar strength, evolving macroeconomic conditions, and movements in crude oil prices. For an oil importing economy like India, a sustained rise in oil prices adds pressure on the trade balance and the currency. Some degree of depreciation is not unusual in an interconnected financial system; what is critical is that the adjustment remains orderly and grounded in fundamentals.
A calibrated depreciation can support export competitiveness and assist in correcting external imbalances. However, sharp or persistent weakness carries risks. It can elevate imported inflation, widen the current account deficit, increase the burden of external debt servicing, and amplify the impact of higher energy costs.
For foreign investors, currency volatility directly affects dollar adjusted returns. If depreciation outpaces yield differentials, it may deter portfolio inflows and potentially trigger FPI outflows.”
