This Indian Perfume Brand Sold 20 Lakhs Without Ads
<p>Ali Syed, founder of Okami Parfums, left a policy career (Ministry of External Affairs, Asian Development Bank, UN Ukraine) to build a made-in-India fragrance brand inspired by Japanese perfumery’s muted, restrained style. After his 2021 skincare startup SuperSkin failed, he built Okami with an obsessive focus on product and packaging, no samples, no discounts, targeting serious perfume users rather than beginners.</p><p>The brand grew almost entirely by accident: two viral tweets (one from a Substack writer, another from investor Sanjay Bakshi, a repeat customer) drove over ₹20 lakh in sales between August and December with zero ad spend. Okami is bootstrapped, profitable, and holds a 17% recurring customer rate without retention marketing.</p><p>Ali argues India’s gap isn’t manufacturing but storytelling, comparing it to how India exports huge carpet volumes yet has no globally recognized carpet brand. He’s open to the right VC partners, plans to diversify beyond perfume, and eventually wants to take Okami global.</p><p>Stay tuned to ChaiNet to listen to the full conversation.</p> <br/><br/>This is a public episode.

Building for 15 years & then handing over the Baton
<p>On this episode of ChaiNet, we sit down with Kathy Walkling, co-founder of Eco Femme, a social enterprise that pioneered washable cloth pads in India and reached 27 countries.</p><p>Eco Femme created livelihoods for rural women, ran free education for girls, and proved that purpose and profit can coexist.
