Anoushka Poddar

Founded Snazz at age 13—positioned as India’s first major teenager-focused personal care brand—making them one of the youngest founders in India to launch a dedicated teen personal-care line (reported by YourStory, Kidsstoppress, and Snazz’s official site).

What they built

Founded Snazz at age 13 in January 2022 — India's first personal care brand tailored specifically to teenagers and tweens, offering sulfate-free, paraben-free haircare and skincare formulations. Motivated by her own struggles with skin confidence during adolescence, she spent eight months developing products with lab assistants and a Thane-based factory. Snazz sells approximately 1,000 units per month at ₹650 each and has been recognised by the Young Entrepreneurs Academy (2nd place) and the Inner Wheel Club of India.
