You Won’t Believe These Indian Couples Built Brands You Use Every Day

In recent years, India has seen the rise of many power couples who not only share a life together but also run successful businesses side by side. These couplepreneurs have managed to turn their personal bonds into professional strengths, creating popular brands across various sectors. 

Here’s a look at six such couples who have built companies that are now household names.

Ghazal and Varun Alagh, MamaEarth

Ghazal and Varun Alagh founded MamaEarth in 2016. The idea behind their skincare and haircare brand came from their personal journey as parents. They wanted to create products that were safe for mothers and babies. What began as a small venture has now turned into one of India’s fastest-growing FMCG brands. Their range includes natural products for skin, hair, and wellness. Ghazal also gained popularity as a Shark Tank India investor. Together, the couple has built a trusted brand for young families.

Vineeta Singh and Kaushik Mukherjee, SUGAR Cosmetics

Vineeta Singh and Kaushik Mukherjee started SUGAR Cosmetics in a crowded beauty market. Launched as a direct-to-consumer brand, SUGAR quickly found a strong customer base, especially among young women looking for bold, long-lasting makeup. In just six years, they have opened over 2,500 stores across more than 130 Indian cities. Vineeta, who also appeared on Shark Tank India, has become a well-known face in the business world. 

Rohan and Swati Bhargava, CashKaro

CashKaro was launched in 2013 by Rohan and Swati Bhargava. The couple, who are both graduates of the London School of Economics, noticed how much Indians love cashback and discount offers. They built a platform where users can earn money by shopping through their site. The idea worked, and over time, CashKaro attracted attention from major investors like Tata. The company is now reportedly valued at around $100,000 and is known for its smart saving features.

Anand Shahani and Mehak Sagar, WedMeGood

Anand Shahani and Mehak Sagar turned their shared interest in weddings into a business when they launched WedMeGood in 2014. What started as a small platform to help couples plan weddings is now one of the most visited wedding websites in India. From venue listings to makeup artists and outfit inspirations, WedMeGood offers everything needed for the big day. The couple, who first met during an internship, are now both life and business partners.

Bipin Preet Singh and Upasana Taku, MobiKwik

Bipin and Upasana co-founded MobiKwik, a fintech platform based in Gurugram. The app offers digital payments, bill payments, money transfers, and more. In 2019, they introduced MobiKwik Zip, a Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) feature aimed at helping India’s middle class manage their daily expenses. MobiKwik has over 120 million users and more than 3 million merchants on its network, making it one of India’s largest digital wallets.

Shikhar and Nidhi Singh, Samosa Singh

Shikhar and Nidhi Singh took a bold step when they left their jobs to launch Samosa Singh. Their goal was simple: to give a modern twist to India’s favorite snack. They started small, but demand quickly grew. To expand, they sold their flat and used the money to set up a bigger kitchen. Samosa Singh serves corporates and snack lovers across India with their unique samosa offerings.
