More about Pooja Kaul
Founder at Organiko-Beautifying Life || Forbes 30U30 Asia|| Princess of Wales The Diana Award 2020 || Ministry of MSME Emerging Woman Entrepreneur 2022
I'm an ambitious and passionate individual with a Master's in Social Entrepreneurship and over 7 years of invaluable experience in the development sector. My journey as a change maker began when I founded my own social enterprise, Organiko, during my college days. It all started as a seemingly unconventional idea to create a skincare brand using the ancient Egyptian beauty secret of donkey milk, known for its natural anti-aging properties. Despite initial skepticism, I persevered, and today, I am proud to say that I am at the forefront of history, having successfully launched India's first-ever skincare brand centered around this remarkable ingredient.
My entrepreneurial venture has not only garnered numerous recognitions and accolades but has also been featured in prominent publications such as Forbes 30 under 30 Asia list, the Wales of Princess Daina Award, and the MSME Emerging Women Entrepreneur Award, among others. These honors stand as a testament to the impact and innovation that Organiko brings to the beauty and skincare industry.
Passionate about teaching and public speaking, I actively engage in sharing my knowledge on social entrepreneurship, leadership, impact, social innovation, product design, and government schemes for startups. As an experienced public speaker, I have had the privilege of inspiring diverse audiences with my entrepreneurial journey and insights. My desire to mentor aspiring entrepreneurs and students is deeply rooted in the belief that every idea, no matter how unconventional it may seem, has the potential to transform into a meaningful venture.
My forte lies in business development, and I possess a keen eye for spotting opportunities even in the most challenging situations. Turning seemingly "stupid" ideas into ventures with a significant social impact is my specialization, and I thrive on making a difference in the lives of people through innovative and sustainable solutions.
Marketing holds a special place in my heart, and my hands-on experience in running Organiko has honed my marketing skills. From identifying unique selling propositions to creating impactful campaigns, I have discovered the art of captivating audiences and driving business growth.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words
"The eChai platform has been super valuable for me - it has helped me gain a deeper understanding of domains in the startup and tech ecosystem. What stands out most is the celebration of knowledge, professional growth, and entrepreneurship - it’s one of the best for the Indian ecosystem. Along the way, I’ve also been fortunate to make some great friendships and connections too."

“When we launched LegalWiz.in back in 2016, concept of procuring legal and compliance services through a digital commerce platform wasn't as prominent in India. eChai played a significant role in providing the early adopters, and building significant positioning in the startup fraternity. Overtime, eChai grew to be a massive network of like-minded entrepreneurs and extended that benefit to all the members in a true "co-rise" spirit. I personally love to attend eChai events, learn from subject matter experts who share relatable and actionable insights and experiences. For startup journeys, it is so important to be surrounded by people who can add relevance, perspective, and push you to do better. Most importantly a group of people where you aren't being judged about things going right or wrong, but be a motivational force that keeps you going, yet keeping you in check. eChai is that place for me!”

"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."
