SUGAR Cosmetics CEO Vineeta Singh, who founded the company with her husband Kaushik Mukherjee, said that the couple had their arguments over different topics and sometimes, took those fights home as well.
Speaking on YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia's "The Ranveer Show" podcast, Singh said fight between co-founders was normal and admitted that if she took the deciding call on a product, then regardless of how much her husband disagreed with her she would go ahead with the decision.
"There are small fights. We fought even today. Sometimes fights at the office reach home and vice versa. I think co-founders, be it brothers or any family members, end up fighting."
"For instance, if I have a final call on a product, then Kaushik can disagree as much as he wants, I will hear his point of view, but still, I will decide and fundamentally over a period of time, we can't hold grudges about it," she said.
Singh also gave an example from Shark Tank, where she is a judge, about how there were many subjective decisions taken and added that those who said they did not fight and agreed on everything were lying.
"For example, at Shark Tank, when people pitch their startups and we ask them who the CEO is, they say all of us decide together. But if you just have a penny left in your company's account and you have to decide where it has to be spent- then it's a subjective decision. There are a lot of subjective decisions. If people say that they don't fight and agree on everything, then it's an absolute lie," she said.
SUGAR Cosmetics was founded in 2012 and in 2023, actor Kareena Kapoor formed a joint venture with Singh and Mukherjee to launch a Korean skincare brand called Quench Botanics in India.
