“I started my first job when I was still at school, I was in standard 8 when I decided I had to be financially independent,” Ghazal Alagh, the co-founder of Mama Earth and Shark Tank Celebrity Entrepreneur said at We The Women, the flagship festival curated by award-winning journalist Barkha Dutt.

Ghazal Alagh told Barkha Dutt that there were many biases she had to initially battle while building Mama Earth, especially because the manufacturing and production centers are male dominated.
