The founder, Mrs. Vandana Luthra, is awarded the Padma shri in 2013 for her contribution and is listed as the 33rd most powerful woman in business in india by Fortune india, in 2015. Along with these accolades, she was also appointed as the Chairperson of the beauty & Wellness Sector Skill Council by the Indian government. Furthermore, she is a General Body Member of the New delhi-based Morarji Desai National Institute of Yoga. The Steering Committee and the Sub-Committee formed by india’s Ministry of Skill Development & Entrepreneurship on the Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana also has her as an active member.
But nothing happens in one day. Vandana and VLCC didn't happen overnight. A homemaker initially, Vandana started her journey in 1989 when the first of her two daughters was only 3 years-old and today a grandmother to three kids, Vandana still lives her dream.
Remembering her days of struggle she says, “When I started, there were hardly any women entrepreneurs in india. It was a male-dominated environment. I had to face a lot of criticism, a lot of people tried to ensure that I did not succeed and grow. The only thing I believed in was that my concept was unique, unusual and it was being introduced in india for the first time.
