In this episode of Expert Talk with Bhavya Desai, we speak with Reenita Malhotra Hora about the remarkable journey of India’s razor blade industry and the rise of two landmark brands —Topaz and Supermax.

Bringing a rare insider perspective, Reenita shares how these homegrown brands grew to dominate the Indian market and competed head-on with global giant Gillette. Drawing from family history and deep research, she takes us through the making of these companies, the technology behind blade manufacturing, and the challenges of innovating in a product most people consider simple but is, in reality, highly complex and precision-driven.

A must-listen for anyone interested in Indian brands, entrepreneurship, and the real stories behind products we use every day.
