NUGGET CONTEXT Falguni speaks about how she juggled her family and her career
at various points in time. She specifically speaks about the Maternity
transition and says that women shouldn’t treat it as a P&L discussion where
they are trading off the income with the opportunity cost of being with the
child. She urges the women to look it as an investment in oneself that pays
out over the future. GUEST Falguni Nayar is the Founder and CEO at
Nykaa.com. She founded it in 2012 with the vision of making the best of beauty
products available all across India. Today, Nykaa.com’s collection includes
the best of Indian and International brands across make up, skin care and hair
care categories. Falguni is an alumnus of IIM Ahmedabad and initially worked
as a Consultant with AF Ferguson & Co and then as an Investment Banker at
Kotak for about ~18 years (with roles in International Business, Institutional
Equities and Investment Banking). 27 years into her career, she took the
entrepreneurial plunge and moved to start Nykaa.com. In our conversation, we
spoke about her formative years, how she thought about her career in the
initial years after IIMA and her reflections on how women should think about
managing their careers and their leadership style as they go through their
journey. We also spoke at length about her transition from the corporate world
into the world of start ups when she started Nykaa.com and explore how she has
had to adapt her ways to flourish in the new context. Published in April
