Having worn many hats, in my positions in M&A, sales, product development, operations buying, growing, and selling companies and brand incubation and fundraising she has also been able to establish a solid network in this space.

Through ELVY Lab- a vegan, clean beauty brand that’s developed by herself and a Stanford dermatologist, she aspires to contribute to the normalization of self-care for all genders.

As Lekha quotes “To me, helping men feel comfortable and confident in their own skin is a vital step toward a more inclusive and balanced beauty industry. It's not just about skin care– it's a holistic approach to empowering individuals to look and feel their best, ultimately boosting self-assurance and well-being”.
