In December 2023, Mamaearth co-founder Ghazal Alagh was listed on top of the list of India's top 10 youngest women entrepreneurs, released by IDFC Bank and and Hurun India.

On Friday, she took to X (formerly Twitter) to share a key trait required to excel, emphasising on the need to stop competing with others and instead, compete with one's own self to continuously grow as a person.

"Stop trying to compete against everyone else. The race is only with yourself. Strive to be better than you were yesterday. Outwork your own doubts and insecurities," Alagh wrote on the social media platform.
