Entrepreneur Name;- Yuba Aga and Hinshara Habeeb
About the Entrepreneur;-Yuba, a 37-year-old dentist from Mumbai, has been practicing her profession and running her own clinic since 2008. She is also a proud mother of three children. In 2017, after years of hair straightening and heat damage, she discovered the curly girl method and fell in love with her naturally curly hair.
This sparked a desire to inspire others to embrace their natural hair as well. In 2018, Yuba decided to turn her passion for curls into a business and, along with her friend Hinshara, founded Manetain.
Initially, they started with hair accessories, but they have now expanded their product line to include four hair care products, and are currently working on further extensions to their hair care range.
