Women’s Entrepreneurship Day: 5 Bollywood actresses who built successful business empires
As we celebrate Women’s Entrepreneurship Day on November 19, let’s take a look at five actresses who are leading the way from the film set to the boardroom.
Alia Bhatt – Ed-a-Mamma
Alia Bhatt launched Ed‑a‑Mamma to weave together her love for storytelling and a deep commitment to sustainability, building a gentle and conscious world for children and moms-to-be. With a planet-first philosophy, the brand offers clothing, toys, accessories, bedding, and books. Through its #PlantABeej initiative, each order includes a seedball for families to plant together, while fabric scraps are upcycled into toys and potlis, and the biodegradable packaging features bean-shaped FSC‑certified tags that double as bookmarks. Every detail reflects the brand’s vision of making childhood playful, conscious, and kind to the planet.
Katrina Kaif – Kay Beauty
Leveraging her status as a beauty icon, Katrina Kaif launched her popular makeup brand, Kay Beauty, in 2019, which now offers over 200 high-performance makeup products. Her mission was to deliver ultra-glam, long-lasting products that are unequivocally vegan, sustainable, and cruelty-free. By ensuring the products start at an accessible price point, Kay Beauty is democratizing premium-quality, ethical beauty for a wider Indian audience.
Priyanka Chopra Jonas – Anomaly
The global star strategically entered the market with Anomaly, a clean hair care brand launched in the US (2021) and India (2022). The actress-entrepreneur’s core vision is to democratize sustainable beauty by keeping prices low, asserting that access to conscious choices “should not cost us the Earth”. The brand uses clean, vegan formulations and ensures its packaging is deliberately made from recycled materials, cementing its commitment to both affordability and the planet.
Deepika Padukone – 82°E
Deepika Padukone founded the self-care brand 82°E in 2022, focusing on a minimal and consistent range of skincare products, which recently expanded to include a men’s line. The brand, “born in India, for the world”, emphasizes products that are clean, vegan, cruelty-free, and clinically tested. Deepika’s personal focus is on making the practice of self-care simple, joyful, and effective, helping consumers build essential, consistent rituals for skin health.
Kriti Sanon – Hyphen
Kriti Sanon launched her beauty brand, Hyphen, in July 2023, with a skincare line that offers a variety of products, including moisturisers, serums, and masks. The brand is specifically targeted at consumers who seek a balance between effective results and natural ingredients, providing a middle ground that seamlessly blends the efficacy of science-based formulations with the goodness of traditional skincare. This approach simplifies the modern beauty routine by offering potent, simplified solutions.
By combining their personal passions with sharp market insights, they haven’t just acted the part; they’ve written, directed, and starred in their own entrepreneurial success stories, setting a powerful new benchmark for success in modern Indian business.
