During her tenure, she helped position VAHDAM as one of India’s most celebrated homegrown global brands. She was also the first angel investor of the brand, having backed it in its early years.

Expressing gratitude for her time at VAHDAM, Sarda described the brand as “disruptive, global, and formative” . Transitioning to her new role, Sarda shared her enthusiasm for joining Forest Essentials, a brand she calls “one she has long admired and been a loyal consumer of.”

“Her appointment at Forest Essentials marks an exciting new chapter as she looks to strengthen the brand’s retail experience, storytelling, and customer engagement across India,” shares the company statement.
