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.

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.
