More about Dipali Mathur

Private banker turned entrepreneur, Dipali Mathur Dayal is the Founder and CEO of the game-changer brand, Super Smelly. Super Smelly is India’s first and only brand of personal care products for Generation Z, that are zero-toxin, made with natural ingredients, gentle yet effective, and dermatologically tested for safety. In her current capacity, Dipali is the wind behind product vision, investor management, brand management, strategy, and direction for the company. For this, she has been recognised as BusinessWorld’s choice for ‘40 Under 40’.


Dipali launched Super Smelly with her partner, Milan Sharma in 2018. Since then, the brand has taken huge strides. Besides an ever expanding product range, Super Smelly has bagged several awards, including one of the Top 10 Retail Start Ups of 2020-21 by Silicon India, Product of the Year and Organic Beauty Awards in Australia.


Super Smelly is close to Dipali’s heart because she conceived the idea, as a mother to a growing daughter. The glaring lack of options for natural, toxin-free and safe personal care products in the country, for the age group between the two bookends (babies and adults), galvanised her to carefully architect a brand, exclusively for teens, tweens and young adults.


Considering that Gen Z constitutes 40% of India's population at present, Dipali envisions Super Smelly to establish itself as the market leader in personal care products for young skin and hair care.


Apart from her entrepreneurial commitments, Dipali loves to spend time with her family, read, travel, and is also a fitness enthusiast.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

"eChai isn’t just a startup community … it’s a mindset . eChai has been one of the most impactful communities in my entrepreneurial journey. It’s been a turning point . In a world where building something can often feel isolating, eChai gave me a sense of belonging. I’ve found mentors, collaborators, and friends here — people who genuinely want to see you succeed. It’s a space where ideas are challenged, actions are celebrated, and founders grow not just in scale, but in clarity and confidence. From late-night ideas to early-morning pitches, this community has quietly but powerfully shaped the way I build, think, and dream. I’ll always be grateful for the way eChai creates spaces where founders don’t just grow businesses — they grow together."

"For me, eChai is a second home. I've been associated with it since the early days, when it was already setting a different tone for how startup communities could work. As a traditional business owner entering the new-age D2C space, eChai supported me in every direction. Over the years, it became my window to the startup world — and also gave me lifelong friends who continue to show up, for business and beyond."

“eChai has been that turning point in my journey. It gave me a platform when I wasn’t looking for visibility but needed direction. Over the years, it became more than just a network. It became my tribe; a place where conversations sparked collaborations, and strangers became trusted sounding boards. What I value most is how effortlessly eChai brings people together - no airs, no filters, just genuine people with shared dreams. I owe a lot to this community and to Jatin, whose consistency and belief in people have shaped journeys like mine. Forever grateful to be part of something so real.”
