ABOUT THE BOOK
From making fragrant candles and soaps to building India's first luxury Ayurveda beauty empire, Mira Kulkarni has proved that a thriving business can grow from just one tiny seed. The creative genius and driving spirit behind Forest Essentials' range of natural beauty products, Kulkarni has been hailed as a farsighted leader for creating a
whole new category, and her ability to translate traditional Ayurvedic processes into transformational new products and anticipate beauty trends. In just two decades, under her direction, Forest Essentials has grown into a billiondollar company, poised to go global soon. Through it all, Kulkarni has fiercely guarded her privacy - until now.
Essentially Mira is an extraordinary account of how a single mother of two rose above all odds to build a globally renowned brand from the ground up. Capturing Mira's childhood days, her marriage at the age of nineteen, both her parents' deaths that left her orphaned at twenty-eight, facing death threats and the many memorable
encounters that changed a sensitive young girl into a consummate businesswoman, the book talks about the story behind Forest Essentials and how it grew into the iconic brand it is today.
Inspirational and incredibly relatable, Essentially Mira is a story of someone who never gave up.
