Ghazal Alagh on Shark Tank India:

Ghazal Alagh, along with Vineeta Singh, CEO & Founder, SUGAR Cosmetics, and Namita Thapar, Executive Director, Emcure Pharmaceuticals, formed the women trio on Shark Tank India, a panel unique to Shark Tank India.

Interestingly, Ghazal missed the email sent by Shark Tank India and Sony Television for five days, and only when her team reminded her did she read it.

While Ghazal did not appear as much on the show as others, she says it made a lasting impression on her as an investor, entrepreneur, and a person.

The most important thing, she points out, is that contrary to people’s beliefs, the Sharks were asked to be ‘who they are’ on the show.

“It brings out our true personalities. And we were not cued in to behave in a certain way. We were the way we are in real life,” she says.

The first edition of the desi version of Shark Tank has taken the nation by storm – with the show and its entrepreneurs discussed in the media and beyond.

The Sharks and the entrepreneurs have become subjects of everyday conversations. Even those who did not receive any funding on the show are now overcome and overwhelmed by what it has brought them – recognition, fame, and in some cases, external funding.

Shark Tank presents a platform for aspiring entrepreneurs to pitch their business ideas to a panel of market leaders, who invest in their company and mentor them in return for equity stakes in their company.

Ghazal Alagh important takeaways:

Ghazal believes she has learnt not to be strict with herself.

She also regrets not investing in some deals. “Outside the show, when you are investing, you have multiple conversations, multiple ways of checking the product and take time to make a decision. I wasn’t very strong about instant decisions. I learned to be in their shows, be empathetic and kind, thinking of my own experience at pitching five years ago.”

She vocalised what a lot of people also feel about the show in general.

“Even if you are not investing, there’s no need to be harsh. The person hearing those words will never forget what you said. Give them feedback to help them move in the right direction,” she says.

Four months ago, Mamaearth achieved a gender balanced employment of 51 percent women workforce.

“We have always been a very women-oriented brand. Empowering women actually means giving them the opportunity to prove themselves. While hiring for any position, we look at a 50-50 split while looking at the CVs so we are solving at the grassroot level itself. I also strongly believe in leading by example,” she says.

With that motive, Alagh along with her husband decided to start MamaEarth in the year 2016 inside which all the ingredients which will be going to be used to make the product will be toxin-free and elements that mother nature was providing us free of cost.

Around 700 couples who were expecting their first child and young mothers were giving their views about what they really wanted in a product and keeping their values and opinions in mind she kept working on the product and that’s how the Mamaearth was born. Many companies didn’t approve her product or invested their money in the product but she didn’t let herself down and along with her husband, Mr Varun Alagh created an Online Portal with the same name i.e. MamaEarth.

She started selling the product firstly to those families who gave their opinions while she was planning to create a product and after receiving positive responses she decided to expand her business by introducing more range of products. Since then there was no looking back for her company.
