In this episode of the Sahil Khanna Show, we speak with the founder of Soulflower about her transition from architecture to entrepreneurship and the personal experiences that inspired her to build a natural beauty and personal care brand.
She shares how sensitive skin, traditional Indian home remedies, and her knowledge of herbs and plants helped shape the original product idea. The conversation also covers Soulflower's early growth through exhibitions, retail stores, malls and pharmacies—long before online-first D2C brands became popular in India.
You’ll learn how the brand built customer trust through clinical testing, word-of-mouth marketing and strong repeat purchases. She also explains how COVID-19 forced the company to shift online, turning a major business challenge into a new growth opportunity.
