Radhika Ghai
About
In the male-dominated world of entrepreneurship, Radhika Ghai has shattered glass ceilings, becoming the first Indian woman to enter the prestigious ‘Unicorn Club’. With her groundbreaking venture, ShopClues, she has revolutionized the e-commerce industry in India. Alongside Sandeep Aggarwal and Sanjay Sethi, she co-founded ShopClues in 2011, where she currently serves as the Chief Business Officer. ShopClues swiftly rose to prominence, pioneering the concept of a managed marketplace and garnering widespread acclaim for its commitment to bringing Indian markets online. Under her leadership, ShopClues achieved unicorn status in 2016, with a valuation rocketing to a whopping $1.1 billion.
However, the foundation of her entrepreneurial journey was laid in her younger years, as she witnessed her retired army father’s entrepreneurial spirit firsthand. This early exposure laid the groundwork for her aspirations, as she established her advertising agency in Chandigarh in 1997, proving her desire to chart her own path. Radhika also attended Washington University in St. Louis to earn an MBA to expand her career opportunities.
Moreover, Radhika’s tenure at prestigious companies like Goldman Sachs and Nordstrom in Seattle provided her with invaluable insights into e-commerce, style, sales, and lifestyle. These experiences equipped her with a multifaceted expertise that would prove instrumental in her entrepreneurial endeavors.
After the success of ShopClues, Radhika spread her entrepreneurial wings by launching Kindlife, her next business endeavor, after realizing the huge opportunity in the beauty and wellness industry. Kindlife is a platform that seamlessly integrates e-commerce, community development, and brand partnerships.
