In another message to founders, Ghazal Alagh added, "Brand building is a slow process. Focus on compounding your wins and never give up. When you look at the long term, it all becomes worth it. Stay true to your passion and never settle for anything less!"

Industry leaders have been sharing insights for founders and entrepreneurs regarding upscaling and recruitment ever since major international companies such as Microsoft, Google, and Meta began to lay off their employees by the thousands.

Mamaearth, however, also made headlines recently following valuation concerns raised by experts ever since Honasa Consumer filed papers with capital markets regulator Sebi to raise funds through an initial public offering (IPO).

In a statement put out on social media, Mamaearth founders Ghazal and Varun Alagh said, "We have built this company and our brands with a lot of love, the same way we have raised our children. The way one never leaves the side of their children we firmly stand behind building our brands and this company for times to come."
