Sarika, Founder, The SpringBoard Collective 
It's not easy to turn around an otherwise largely unorganized sector of B2C exhibitions. But Sarika, the founder of The SpringBoard Collective (aka Woman's Extravaganza), managed to do that and created award-winning platforms like KidTown Fair Exhibition, which is a part of the marketing strategy of corporates and startups. 

Back in 2008, social clubs largely dominated this space. With a marketing-driven focus and the support of media giants like Nick Jr, Sarika changed its narrative. She paid equal attention to curation and marketing strategy. Sarika says the idea is that brands must evaluate these exhibitions as marketing platforms that introduce them to a relevant audience and not as sales channels. Sarika is currently working on PROJECT EARTH, which is a coming together of planet-friendly businesses. Equipped with an MBA and 2 decades of experience, her advice to all entrepreneurs is  "A thick skin, a soft heart, and hard work will make everything happen".

Bhavana Doshi, Founder, Pure Bubbles Skincare
Bhavana Doshi founded Pure Bubbles, a well-known science-based skincare company. Through her inspiring journey as an entrepreneur, Bhavana has always served as an inspiration to women everywhere. She bravely addressed her skincare issues and assisted others in standing confidently. Bhavana spent her entire life battling serious skincare issues and tried everything available in domestic and foreign markets, but nothing worked. 

As a result, she joined networks of American chemists to learn cutting-edge formulation techniques and spent years researching the products she eventually introduced under the brand Pure Bubbles. Her dedication resulted in reasonably priced international skincare standards with more researched formulations specifically formed for Indian skin types. Additionally, Bhavana wants to create the most effective products as a founder and skincare expert, so she continues to test the majority of her formulations on herself for a fair amount of time. That truly demonstrates Bhavana Doshi's dedication to her skincare line.

Sana Digga, Co-Founder, Sunoh Studio
Sana Digga and her husband and business partner Gaurav Digga are craftspersons behind Sunoh Studio, which started in 2019. Gaurav's fascination with photography and Sana's unwavering passion for fashion and styling drove them to embark on their creative journey, which gave rise to Sunoh Studio. 

To give customers elegant, timeless, and seasonless designs to extend the life of the clothing, Sana and Gaurav introduced minimalist ethnic wear labels. Their goal was to revolutionize ethnic wear fashion and its overall perception.

Sana shares, "I had doubts and fears about starting to work. Gaurav became my support system and convinced me to focus on my passion." Sana, the creative force behind the designs, considers a few key factors when developing a product: 1. It should feel good on the skin. 2. It must be durable. Sana explains, "We use hand-embroidered zardozi work in our designs to provide a wardrobe for our customers which is elegant and practical. We believe in encouraging our customers to reuse, restyle, and be creative".

Tanushree Das & Pooja Karegoudar, Co-Founders, BodyCafé
BodyCafé was founded in 2019 by Tanushree Ishani Das and Pooja Karegoudar. It was created as a result of the pair's fascination with fusing forgotten ancient Indian ingredients with contemporary aesthetics and their unwavering enthusiasm for building an aspirational and value-driven brand.

In an era of robust advertising, the team decided to rely entirely on word of mouth to establish the brand's proof of concept, and they take pride in having a devoted customer base across the globe.

Pooja explains, "We founded BodyCafé because we felt that while there are a lot of Indian skincare companies on the market, there aren't many products that actually incorporate unusual ingredients like moringa, amaranth seed oil, etc. that honor the various Indian states and support Indian farmers."
 
Tanushree states, “Despite so many skincare brands, we see alarmingly increasing skincare complaints and online DIY skincare searches. We realised most people do not have access to off-the-shelf, price sensitive products and so they dedicate a ‘self-care Sunday’ to make these. We bring ancient home remedies also known as ‘gharelu nuskha’ built on trust to offer effective and price sensitive skincare and grooming products.”
