Mamaearth’s Ghazal Alagh Thanks PM Modi and Vows to Create Lakhs of Jobs
24.05.2024: Ghazal Alagh, co-founder of the popular beauty brand Mamaearth, recently expressed her gratitude to Prime Minister Narendra Modi after he praised her husband, Varun Alagh, for their entrepreneurial success. In a heartfelt message on X (formerly Twitter), Ghazal pledged to create lakhs of jobs over the next decade, aiming to take Indian beauty products global and proudly display the Bharat flag worldwide.
PM Modi’s Encouragement Fuels Determination
Prime Minister Modi’s recognition has profoundly inspired Ghazal Alagh. She tweeted, “Thank you @narendramodiji. Aapke aashirvaad aur Modi sarkaar ke support ke sath lakhon jobs create karenge agle 10 saal mein. This truly fuels our passion and makes us even more determined to succeed. We will take Indian beauty to the world and place the Bharat flag everywhere.”
Acknowledgment of Government Support
The appreciation from PM Modi came in response to a video shared by Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri, where Varun Alagh highlighted the crucial role of the government in fostering a conducive environment for startups. Varun stated, “Today we employ more than 10,000 people. It couldn’t have been possible but for the ecosystem provided by the Modi government.”
He further shared their journey, “We come from middle-class families, including my wife Ghazal and me. 2016 was the year when Startup India was started, and that’s the year we quit our jobs and decided to start this company. In just seven years, we have been able to make the company public, and we have employed over 10,000 people now.”
PM Modi’s Encouraging Response
Prime Minister Modi’s response was equally motivating. He said, “Keep up the great work and continue to inspire others with your success, Varun! Ours is a government that actively encourages startups and wealth creation. We are proud of the youthful energy in every part of our nation, especially the Tier-2 and 3 cities.”
Mamaearth’s Journey
Ghazal and Varun Alagh launched Mamaearth in New Delhi in 2016. Since then, the brand has grown exponentially, becoming a household name and a significant employer in the beauty industry. Their success story is a testament to the potential of Indian startups and the supportive ecosystem fostered by the government.
Ghazal Alagh’s commitment to generating jobs and promoting Indian beauty products globally highlights the impact of supportive government policies on startups. With continued determination and government backing, Mamaearth is poised to achieve even greater heights, taking the essence of Indian beauty to the world.
