Founder & CEO, The Moms Co.
An engineer and MBA graduate by qualification, Malika Sadani is the Founder and CEO of The Moms Co. - India's leading company for toxin-free products catering to expectant and new mothers seeking natural, chemical-free products for their daily personal care regimen. The idea for The Moms Co. came to her, in 2012; when she had just moved back to India from London. At the time, she couldn’t find safe products for her daughters locally; in fact, one of her daughters also suffered from a skin condition, which made high-quality solutions a necessity. She spoke to a number of parents, only to realize that there was a gap in the market for products that mothers could trust and the concern wasn’t hers alone. This birthed a brand, which serves over 2 million moms across 20,000 pin codes.
