S4E171: Building an Industry from Scratch with Dr. Blossom Kochhar | The AboutHer Show
What does it take to build an industry that barely existed? In this episode of The AboutHer Show, Dr. Blossom Kochhar, Chairperson of the Blossom Kochhar Group of Companies, tells you how she brought aromatherapy to India more than 35 years ago and turned it into a business spanning 100+ cities and 10 countries.
We talk about the doors that were shut on a woman founder in an industry dismissed as “soft,” what her double doctorate taught her that practice never could, and why she went back to Cambridge and SMU decades into her career. She also shares what she tells young women at Femina Miss India that has nothing to do with appearance, how Reiki and the boardroom live side by side, the failure nobody asks
her about, and what still feels unfinished.
We close with The Reveal, our quick-fire round.
Not just about her. It takes all of us.
