The Good Glamm Group Celebrates Women’s Entrepreneurship Day

I was asked why we need to dedicate a day to women who are building businesses when we do not have one for men. Haven’t women been entrepreneurial for ever?

The answer is simple.

We do it for the young women out there.

“You can’t be who you can’t see”

We need to celebrate women who are trailblazers in many ways.

To show that young girl, dreaming of her future that this too is a possibility for her.

That she too can dream big, build strong and scale high.

We need to celebrate women to show their families that their ambitions matter.

All we want is equality.

As many female entrepreneurs and investors as male.

As many women who are founders, CEOs, CxOs, board members and team members as men.

Till this is not the norm – we need to celebrate days like Women’s Entrepreneurship Day.

Because representation matters.

Till there is equality in representation of successes of both women and men in all kinds of media, in public and private discourse and in workplaces – we need to make an outsize effort.

We need to celebrate it till it becomes normal – till it is no longer a conversation starter.

The Good Glamm Group in partnership with #LadiesWhoLead, Invest India and LiveMint set out to #ChangeTheNarrative with a list of 100 women building and shaping India. We can all do our bit to amplify, engage, support and celebrate women who are doing this and more.

Here are 100 Indian women entrepreneurs building and shaping India

Also, to celebrate Women’s Entrepreneurship Day, we hosted a townhall with the female leaders of the Good Glamm Group. In a candid and inspirational session, they told their stories – how they got to where they are today.

I am proud to be sharing the space with these dynamic and enterprising entrepreneurs – to be building and scaling Good Glamm Group together.

Disha Sanghvi has played a key role in shaping the story of the Good Glamm Group. She was a founding member of the tiny team that launched MyGlamm in October 2017.  The products she conceptualized had a competitive edge—over 90% were ‘first time in India’.  Consumers fell in love with these innovative products and competitors started taking notice. And the rest, as they say, is history.  From helping launch a small on-demand beauty startup to seeing it scale up to become a  $1.2 billion unicorn – Disha has been through it all!  As Director and head of new product development at the Good Glamm Group, she oversees a key and pivotal team that innovates across all our brands.

Malini has revolutionized how entertainment journalism is approached in the country.
