Megha Asher Co-Founder & COO, Juicy Chemistry

After completing primary schooling in Mumbai, Megha moved to Coimbatore to study International Baccalaureate (IB) at The Chinmaya International Residential School. After completing IB, I went to Griffith University, Brisbane, Australia to pursue Bachelors of Arts in Criminology & Criminal Justice System and Masters of Arts in Journalism & Mass Communication.

Megha& Pritesh met in high school at Chinmaya International and we went on to study in Australia. Post-graduation Pritesh came back to Coimbatore to run his family business while Megha worked independently on research papers in the field of Criminology and also has work experience as an Associate Features Editor for The Times of India, Pune. She has expertise in different areas of work. Currently, Megha lives in Coimbatore and is a mom to a daughter Meera.

The idea of Juicy Chemistry stemmed as Megha suffered from hyper-sensitive and acne-prone skin for over a decade due to PCOD and consulting with numerous dermatologists, Megha found that the products simply lacked efficiency. As Megha was keen to go the organic way, a visit to the mall turned out to be a complete eye opener. As a sales person tried selling organic products to the couple, while the front of the label was screaming natural ingredients, the back of the box was hushing parabens, sulphates, artificial colors, fragrances and mineral oils amongst other chemicals. Pritesh could identify the harsh ingredients owing to his exposure to his family business. Juicy Chemistry is born with the aim of providing Simplified Skincare through its formulation with absolutely no chemicals or preservatives. Juicy Chemistry is the first ever Indian brand with a complete certified organic products range by Ecocert (France) in accordance with COSMOS V3 Standard. The intensive research into essential oils and traditional skincare ingredients forms the foundation of the products.The concept of Juicy Chemistry revolves around sustainability, the products do not contain any harmful chemicals like parabens, phthalates, and sulphates, they do not cause harm to waterways, and marine life.

Megha takes on the responsibility of a COO, managing day to day operations of the company, HR, Order fulfillment and is also handling Social media and Customer Support. She aims to inspire other mompreneurs and those suffering from acne and other skin issues to take the organic route. In her free time Megha enjoys painting, reading, listening to music and spending time with her daughter.
