These born leaders are no less than role models for young boys and girls who aspire to start a business of their call.

1. Ghazal Alagh
Ghazal Alagh has been in the limelight for all the best reasons. The Co-founder of Mamaearth is also an avid angel investor. Ghazal has had quite a journey since she first started Mamaearth- which initially only dealt with baby products. The idea behind the company is extremely close to her heart. Ghazal started Mamaearth for her son who suffered from a skin condition and all the then-available baby products were a massive fail. She tapped into one of the needs of the parents and turned it into a business for them and her little one. It makes up for a tale to tell. The journey only went forward and upwards as the company evolved from baby care to skincare and beauty.
