An alumnus of the famed Harvard Business School, Mr. Samir K Modi stint in US has given him a global perspective and a multicultural approach to work. During his tenure there, the success of Indians worldwide amazed him. And yet throughout his years in the US, and on his several social welfare trips, he had seen the crude contradictions of this success.

He began to understand that the only way to replicate success in India was through economic independence.

Continuing his family’s tradition of nation building, in 1996, at the young age of 25, Mr. Modi launched India’s first Direct Selling Company, Modicare, with the vision of giving ‘Freedom’ to the common Indian. His mantra for success has been “Soch Badlo, Khudko Badlo, Duniya Badlo”. He believes that, if we change ourselves, we can achieve the impossible and get ‘Azadi’ to realise our dreams. Today, Modicare is one of the fastest growing direct selling companies in India and is changing the lives of lakhs of Indians. The Modicare Azadi Movement is creating a revolution and lakhs of people are joining Modicare every month.

With his finger on the pulse of the emerging, new Indian consumer, Mr. Samir K Modi felt the need for an Indian cosmetics brand offering products at par with international brands.
