  • Culture meets Beauty: Journey to Creating a Luxury Ayurvedic skincare line with Founder | Michelle Ranavat
    Apr 30 2023

    On today's episode of Building Billions, we are joined by Michelle Ranavat, the founder and CEO of Ranavat Botanics - an Ayurvedic skincare line that's taking the industry by storm.

    Michelle's journey to creating Ranavat Botanics began with a visit to Jaipur, India, where she discovered the elevated level of self-care and devotion to ritualistic daily practices. Inspired by the ancient elixirs and potions used by the kings and queens of Rajasthan, Michelle wanted to create a skincare collection that not only celebrated her culture and heritage but also drove connection.

    By melding modern chemistry with traditional Ayurvedic practices, Michelle has created a botanical skincare collection that's both luxurious and effective. Her formulations are thoroughly researched, with each ingredient methodically extracted and preserved for its healing properties.

    As a first-generation Indian American, Michelle's mission is to bridge the gap between made in India and luxury skincare while sharing her cultural traditions and heirlooms with the world. With Ranavat Botanics, Michelle is redefining the beauty industry and creating a space where ancient traditions meet modern skincare.

    Tune in to our episode to learn from her expertise in ancient Indian wellness practices and how she's innovatively applied them to create a luxurious and effective skincare experience.
