On the occasion of International Women’s Day, Mamaearth co-founder Ghazal Alagh took to Instagram to share a heartfelt reflection on her journey of balancing motherhood and entrepreneurship. Accompanied by a series of seven photos featuring her husband, Varun Alagh, and their children, the post captured intimate moments of love, support, and resilience. Through her words, she offered a glimpse into the challenges she faced as a new mother and the determination that ultimately led to the creation of one of India’s most successful skincare brands.
Ghazal recalled the early days of motherhood when she was overwhelmed with self-doubt and the constant fear of failing her child. Struggling to find safe and gentle products for her baby’s delicate skin, she felt lost and frustrated. She questioned herself whether she was doing enough as a mother. The experience left her searching for answers, but instead of resigning to helplessness, she took matters into her own hands.
What began as a desperate attempt to find a solution for her child soon evolved into something much bigger. However, the road to building a business while being a new mother was anything but easy. Guilt and self-doubt often crept in, whispering that she was making the wrong choice—choosing work over spending time with her child. The pressure from society was relentless. Many questioned her ability to succeed, pointing out her lack of experience in the industry. The fear of failure loomed large, but she refused to give in. She reminded herself that doubts were a natural part of the journey, but perseverance was the key.
In the caption, Ghazal Alagh reflected on her journey, acknowledging the struggles, the guilt, sleepless nights, and self-doubt. Despite the challenges, she wouldn’t change a thing, calling the experience of motherhood and entrepreneurship both fulfilling and rewarding. She also reassured fellow mothers and dreamers juggling multiple responsibilities that they’re not alone—everyone is simply figuring it out, one step at a time.
