When asked about how Mamaearth has managed to steer clear of the general trend of panic and pessimism, Varun Alagh, Founder, Mamaearth said, “This is undoubtedly a time of unprecedented crisis — something the world has never seen before and is unlikely to see again. But it’s times like these that can really transform the culture and mindset in a company — for better or worse. It can bring out an incredible amount of resilience that will help with long-term growth, or it can result in a panic and scarcity-driven mindset which can also define the culture in the long run.”

Alagh continues, “It was very clear for us which way we wanted to go. We stand for toxin-free products— more than that we stand for a better way of living. Our latest campaign comes with the tagline of “Goodness Inside”. So this idea of goodness and being better is an integral part of who we are as a brand. In times of crisis, we can’t act from a place of fear and take actions that go against this value system.”
