More about Komal (Mall) Baldwa

Komal’s journey began in Cranfield University, where she found a love for marketing and a knack for business. Coming from true blue business blood, she knew the ropes from quite a young age, going with her grandfather to look over production when she was just 10! 

When she started out with Bleü at the age of 36, she was met with doubt and questions from not only her family but also other businessmen. A Marwadi woman getting into the world of condoms was a big no-no, but she persevered and finally started Bleü, a healthier and safer contraceptive which put women’s wellness first. 

Passionate about leveling the field between men and women, representation of women’s issues is a first priority in Komal’s list. As an early startup, there had been roadblocks and Bleü had to be bootstrapped by Komal herself, but now she adorns her failures just as much as her successes, with Bleü receiving accolades as the first vegan condom in the Indian market and bringing a new wave of thought in the world of contraceptives. 

Recently Bleu has received a grant from Startup India fund t develop further products for female health and wellness.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

“I have no hesitation in saying that my association with eChai has been a gateway into the startup ecosystem. Through this platform, I’ve had the opportunity to connect with many young and dynamic entrepreneurs. These interactions have been immensely enriching - I’ve learned a great deal and have always tried to offer guidance whenever approached. It’s a truly symbiotic relationship that I deeply value, and it wouldn’t have been possible without eChai.”

"eChai has played a truly pivotal role in HummingBird’s journey — even before Day Zero. From ideation to establishment and into growth, it’s been a constant source of support. It connected me with incredible people who’ve become more than just friends. One of the biggest reasons I chose to stay in Ahmedabad is because of the eChai community. It has shaped my growth — both personally and professionally — in ways that are hard to articulate. Honestly, words fall short when I try to express what eChai means to me. I’m deeply thankful and forever grateful to eChai for being such an integral part of my journey."
