Curlin is India's one of the first mass premium hair care brand for curly and wavy hair.
Here's the excerpts from eChai with Sumit Karranji, Founder, Curlin as part of our startup showcase series.
About the team
Sumit Karranji is a 2X entrepreneur and is the founder of Curlin.
Prior to this he had built a SaaS startup for payment reconciliation of marketplace sellers which got acquired by Vinculum (Accel Funded Startup).
He also serves on the mentor panel of IMPunjab, iTIC-IITH, AISEA, GUSEC, GTU, CIIE, IIMA where he gives back to the startup community by mentoring early stage startups.
Eureka Moment
60% of Indians have wavy or curly hair and there is no dedicated hair care range for them. I found this as a big gap being a curly haired person myself and also being into the ecomm space since a decade.
