Vineeta Singh
Vineeta Singh (born 1983) is an Indian entrepreneur and CEO, co-founder of Sugar Cosmetics. She has been a Shark (i.e. judge/investor) on the business reality TV show Shark Tank India since the show started airing on SonyLIV in 2021.
Singh was born in 1983 in Anand, Gujarat. Her mother holds a PhD and her father Tej P. Singh is a biophysicist at the All India Institutes of Medical Sciences.
Singh completed her education at Delhi Public School, R. K. Puram in 2001. She then enrolled in IIT Madras that year. Singh completed her electrical engineering studies at IIT-M and earned her bachelor's degree in 2005. Afterward, she obtained an MBA from Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad in 2007.
During her MBA studies, in 2006, she worked as a summer intern at Deutsche Bank and rejected a job despite an annual ₹1 crore salary. Singh and the other graduate who rejected the same offer wanted to start their own lingerie business, but the idea did not take off as they could not raise the required funding.
In 2007, Singh founded her first startup Quetzal. However, providing background verification checks to recruiters failed to succeed. She started her second startup Fab-Bag in 2012, a subscription platform that provided monthly deliveries of beauty products. Her third startup, Sugar Cosmetics, Singh founded together with her husband in 2015. The company sells cosmetics and personal care products geared towards the Indian market. After closing a $50 million deal with private equity firm L Catterton, Singh characterized the company's products as catering to the preferences of women with diverse skin tones. In September 2022, actor Ranveer Singh invested an undisclosed amount and became a "brand evangelist" of Sugar Cosmetics.
Singh appeared on the hard copy cover pages of business magazines, such as Forbes India, Business Today, and Businessworld. To Business Today, she revealed that funding was once only granted under the condition that her husband joined the company full-time, which she viewed as gender discrimination. In 2021, Forbes India listed Singh as one of its Forbes India W-Power list of women achievers. In 2023, Bollywood actress Kareena Kapoor Khan formed a joint venture with Singh and her husband, to launch a Korean skincare brand Quench Botanics in India.
Singh has received the following awards and recognitions, either personally or in recognition of Sugar Cosmetics' entrepreneurial achievements:
Singh is one of the major investors/judges on the business reality show Shark Tank India.
