In this episode hear from Akash and Nikita Mehta, siblings and Co-Founders of renowned Ayurvedic haircare brand Fable & Mane. Inspired by their grandparents and the rich history of Indian beauty practices, they set out just over two years ago to share the rituals their family grew up with.
In this episode, Akash and Nikita share their advice why they wanted to incorporate charity as a key pillar of a business model from the get go, how they define and manage success and why purpose is paramount when starting a business.
Akash and Nikita's advice:
- Branding/creating a name/building a concept all takes time - don’t rush this stage
- Make every product as perfect as possible before launching it
- Don’t be afraid of failure; learn from it
- Spend time on yourself; start with taking care of your health in whatever way is best for you
- Try to have a purpose for your business apart from making money; this benefits both your customers and your team
- Experiment with social media
- Don’t be afraid; problems can always be surmounted
