“In India, it is difficult to find Paraben and Sulfate free products. The emphasis on the post-natal market is also low, which is quite developed in the US as most of the mothers go back to work full-time. This experience made me and my wife think of alternatives which are certified and can be retailed at 50% cheaper than the foreign brands present in India”, says Varun.
