Himanshu Chadha — Co-Founder
From the classrooms of IIT Delhi to leading one of India's most trusted Ayurvedic beauty brands, my journey has been deeply rooted in the purpose to make clean, safe, and effective skincare accessible to all. As a Chemical Engineer turned Beautypreneur, I've spent over three decades formulating and scaling skin and haircare brands that blend ancient Ayurvedic wisdom with modern cosmetic science. The idea for Aryanveda was born when I witnessed the harsh effects of chemical-laden cosmetics on my mother's skin. That moment became the turning point sparking a mission to create nature-powered skincare solutions that are both gentle and effective. In 1997, with ₹50,000 from my father and the support of my family, I began in a modest setup. Today, I am proud to lead Aryanveda Cosmeceuticals and Nimson international, two well-established names in India's personal care industry, backed by. A team of R&D experts, cosmetologists, and production specialists Over 300+ Ayurvedic & modern cosmetic formulations State-of-the-art ISO, GMP and FDA-certified manufacturing units A robust distribution network serving 100+ brands across India and the world Whether it's private label, third -party manufacturing, or formulation consulting, I work closely with Beautypreneurs , D2C brands, and global exporters to bring clean beauty ideas to life from lab to label. But Aryanveda is more than a business. It's a movement-one that champions women-led entrepreneurship, supports grassroots communities, and redefines how beauty is perceived and nurtured. Outside the lab and boardroom, I'm deeply committed to personal wellness- a passion that reflects in both my lifestyle and my business philosophy. I've completed marathons across the world, and running keeps me grounded, focused, and constantly striving for the next mile -in Life and leadership. If you're building a purpose-led beauty brand or looking for a trusted manufacturing partner, I'd love to connect.
