Minimalist started small - just Rahul Yadav and me with a hunch: skincare could be honest. We stumbled, learned, and grew. Three lessons I shared on CNBC-TV18’s Young Turks:

1) Test every idea yourself - data beats guesswork.

2) Price for trust, not trends - affordable & fair price (not lowest price) won us loyalty.

3) Stick to your why - ours was transparency in an opaque market.

Whether it was the call to skip big ads for word-of-mouth or picking science over hype when no one cared or not participating in Instagram trends, we have always let our brand values drive our decisions.
