Great Companies: How did you get your idea or concept for the business?
Vanshika Chawla: After I got back to India post completing my makeup course in London, I taught a makeup & styling workshop at my alma matter NIFT Hyderabad where I realised how much I loved teaching- making a difference and imparting the knowledge I had gained. Upon doing some research, we saw that there is huge gap in the education industry in India when it came to teaching Makeup. There were very few trained educators, most academies were not providing different brands for practice, no extra practice etc. We took all these things into account and that’s how Brush Up by Vanshika came into being.
