NURTURE WITH NATURE – THE MOMS CO
The idea of starting my venture stemmed from a personal struggle of not being able to find responsibly sourced, natural toxin-free products that were safe for my daughters. It was during the course of my stay in London that I got introduced to the harmful effects of chemicals used in skin care products. On moving back to India, when my daughter had her first skin reaction, I realised it was so hard to find natural, chemical–free alternatives that were safe and equally as effective; there was a huge gap in the baby-care market that had not been addressed. Eventually, I landed up importing products for my daughters after finding that there were nearly no local choices for my girls.
I had spoken to over two hundred moms, only to realise that they struggled equally, with the same problem and depended on friends and family to stock up on their mom and baby care essentials, during their travels overseas and those who couldn’t were on a constant look out for better substitutes for their kids.
Why should something like finding an effective, safe lotion or a wash be that difficult? I constantly questioned why there wasn’t a brand exploring solutions, to solve the need moms had, for good quality, natural products that are safe yet effective? We have witnessed a surge of young mothers seeking to make the shift to an eco-sustainable lifestyle. There is also increased awareness in the baby-care market with the rise of working women and nuclear families.
After much thought and consideration, I took it upon myself to create a homegrown company that could truly be a partner to every mother’s journey into motherhood. The first set of team members are always the hardest to recruit. For us, most of the early members came in through references from friends and close relatives. We had our first team member join us back when we didn’t even have our brand name finalised. Most of our employees joined us because they believed in the idea and vision of the company and wanted to make a difference, just as my husband Mohit and I did.
