Krishna Tamaliya Vora is the founder of Mom’s Therapy, an Ayurvedic haircare brand built around traditional black sesame formulations passed down through generations of women in her family. A trained criminal lawyer who stepped away from the courtroom to share the magic o her grandmother’s recipes, she started the company in 2016 with just ₹12,000 and a belief that truly natural products should be honest, handmade, and rooted in Indian ingredients.
What began as home-made hair oil sold at farmers’ markets and in subscription boxes slowly grew into a trusted, full-fledged skincare brand known for its purity first approach and women led handmade production.
She bootstrapped Mom’s Therapy for nearly eight years before raising her first investment in 2025, navigated losing majority shares early in the journey, and rebuilt momentum after a brief five second appearance on Shark Tank India unexpectedly changed the brand’s visibility. What makes Krishna’s story unique is how deeply integrity shaped her decisions, from refusing to make claims she couldn’t prove to choosing slow, sustainable growth over shortcuts. All while building a natural beauty brand without an MBA, external funding, or a traditional business background.
