PM Modi responds to Mamaearth boss Varun Alagh’s ‘we’re from middle-class’ note: ‘Continue to inspire others’

Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri, along with Rajeev Chandrasekhar, Minister of State for Electronics and Information Technology, hosted “Vishesh Sampark Abhiyan” on May 20 to discuss the impact of the digital revolution under Prime Minister Modi. The event brought together start-up founders, innovators, IT professionals, and others to share their experiences. Varun Alagh, co-founder of Mamearth, also attended the event and shared about his start-up journey. 

“We come from middle-class families, including my wife Ghazal and me. 2016 was the year when Startup India was started, and that’s the year we quit our jobs and decided to start this company. In just seven years, we have been able to make the company public, and we have employed over 10,000 people now,” said Varun during the event.
