There he witnessed the natural and organic products revolution and also saw yoga become a multibillion-dollar industry with a repackaged identity for modern consumers. This made him realize the opportunity with Ayurveda. In 2013, Arjun moved back to India and joined a consumer sector-focused growth private equity fund called L Catterton. In October 2016, Arjun quit his job to take on his family’s Ayurveda legacy. Dr. Vaidya’s repackaged the ancient Indian science of Ayurveda for modern consumers and emerged as India’s largest Ayurveda brand online. In 4 years, the company successfully reached 2m+ consumers across 16,500+ pin codes in India and launched 80+ products, and clocked 5,000+ orders per day. Arjun was the first Ayurvedic Entrepreneur to be featured in the Forbes 30 Under 30 Asia List and Business World 40 Under 40 List. He also won Youth SMB of the Year from Amazon and the Retail Startup Award from the Retailers Association of India. In June 2019, Arjun sold his startup to RP Sanjiv Goenka Group, making it one of India’s first successful D2C exits.
