Nidhi Tuteja Dua

Nidhi is the heart and soul behind Nidhi’s Grandmaa Secret, a brand that is born from love, tradition, and a mother's grit to start again. In 2013, Nidhi left her job as a software engineer as she realized that her child needed her more than her career did. That is when she made the difficult but brief decision to step away from work and devote herself to her son. 

For six years, motherhood became her world. But deep inside, Nidhi wanted to rediscover herself. During the COVID-19 pandemic, both Nidhi and her mother-in-law began experiencing severe hair loss. Inspired by her grandmother's ancient Ayurvedic recipes, our story truly began when Nidhi started hand-crafting an anti-hair fall oil at home. What started as self-care soon became a gift that she shared with friends who simply couldn't stop raving about it. This encouragement sparked something truly powerful. With her family's support, Nidhi took the leap and founded Nidhi’s Grandmaa Secret to transform her grandmother's wisdom into a full range of handmade, chemical-free hair care products. 

Through Nidhi’s Grandmaa Secret, Nidhi is not just nourishing hair in the best way possible, but also empowering women everywhere to believe in themselves.
