On Valentine’s Day, Honasa Consumer Ltd., the parent company of popular brands like Mamaearth, The Derma Co., Aqualogica, BBlunt, and Dr. Sheth’s, announced a groundbreaking ‘Couples Welcome’ policy.
This initiative aims to challenge the traditional notion that personal relationships and professional environments should remain separate.
It advocates for a more inclusive and progressive workplace culture.
Honasa Consumer Ltd. was founded in 2016 by Ghazal and Varun Alagh when they couldn’t find natural toxin-free baby products for their child.
What began as a personal mission has since grown into a house of brands that includes The Derma Co., Dr. Sheth’s, Aqualogica, BBlunt, and Staze Beauty.
The company is committed to fostering a workplace where talent, teamwork, and shared aspirations are celebrated. This commitment is evident in their new policy.
