Welcome to our section on Real Women – where we bring you stories of and conversations with real women who inspire us, who have changed lives and given back to the community. Our guest for today is Malika Datt Sadani, Founder and CEO of The Moms Co. – which creates high-quality, toxin-free products for babies and mothers. We sit down with her to talk about entrepreneurship, fashion and things that bring her joy.
1. We know Malika Datt Sadani is an entrepreneur. What is it that people don’t know about you?
As the daughter of an army officer, I really enjoy travelling and meeting new people. I hate to sit still and constantly seek and manage to create work for myself. I am also terrible at sports but very competitive.
2. Why are you doing what you’re doing, at The Moms Co.?
The Moms Co. was born as a result of my own personal struggles – I found it very difficult to find natural, safe & effective products for my daughters when they were young. When I started my research and spoke to over 200 moms, I realised that they too were struggling with the same thing. The Moms Co. started from the very question of “Why should a mom struggle to find natural and safe products for her babies?” to a mission to help mothers make natural, safe and effective choices for themselves and their families. A promise that we would ensure by choosing only the best, safest natural ingredients and staying away from everything that’s harmful, so moms could concentrate on the joys of motherhood and not have to worry about what they put on their or their babies’ skin.
3. Things that make you happy/smile
Chatting with my daughters and hearing their witty responses!
4. What are your 5 wardrobe staples? And what’s your go-to style mantra?
Sheath dresses for work, a white top with jeans for casual occasions and a relaxed top & comfortable shorts for when I’m home.
5. One thing common about being an entrepreneur and a mother
The fact that neither comes with a success manual and that it’s about constantly learning on the job!
6. What makes The Moms Co. special?
It’s a brand born out of a mom’s struggle of not being able to find the safest, natural products for her daughters. The brand is built around the philosophy of “Nature In, Toxins Out” where we source the best of natural ingredients from across the globe to create our products and stay away from everything that’s harmful or even potentially harmful. I’m proud of the fact that we are India’s first “All Natural, Australia Certified Toxin-Free Brand”.
7. What do you indulge in when you’re not working?
Music & dance
