3 Years Ago No One Knew Her Makeup Brand. Now 1 Eyeliner Sells Every 4 Minutes

Female Founder World

Priyanka Ganjoo is on the Female Founder World podcast with Jasmine Garnsworthy!

Priyanka is the founder of Kulfi Beauty, the first-ever South Asian-owned beauty brand to join Sephora shelves. After building a career in the beauty industry, Priyanka saw first hand how underrepresented South Asian communities were in beauty. She sought to create the brand she wished existed, and Kulfi beauty was born. 

Since launching three years ago, Kulfi was accepted into the Sephora Accelerate program, launched exclusively at Sephora, and now sells one of their bestselling Kajal eyeliners every five minutes. Wild!

In this conversation Priyanka shares her learnings in building and scaling super quickly, what founders aiming for Sephora should know, the content strategy that keeps them going viral, and how she’s scaled her team without a ton of full time hires.
