Founder of Magical Blends recognised for leadership and innovation in beauty and personal care
Mumbai, 16th September 2025 – Uttara Talapatra, Founder of Magical Blends and a certified Skincare Coach, has been honoured with the Best Entrepreneur Award at the prestigious Her Rising Awards 2025, organised by HerKey at Four Seasons, Mumbai on 13th September.
The Her Rising Awards celebrate women achievers across industries who have demonstrated excellence, risen as leaders in their fields, and inspired others on their professional journeys. Hosted by HerKey, India’s largest AI-powered platform for women’s career growth, the initiative provides women with a safe, supportive community to pursue aspirations and return to work after career breaks.
A trailblazer in the beauty and personal care industry, Uttara has combined vision and action to build impactful businesses rooted in innovation and purpose. With nearly two decades of experience at L’Oréal, Unilever, and Raymond Consumer Care, she launched Magical Blends in 2024, bringing expertise in beauty and D2C business to the forefront. Within a year, the brand has already introduced a patented skincare regime, setting new benchmarks in the highly competitive sector.
Reflecting on her win, Uttara said:
> “My association with HerKey has been an extremely positive one over the last six months. What started as a small conversation about how to best care for one’s skin quickly morphed into a much larger discussion about self-care, building confidence, and making one’s mark in the workforce as well as starting as an entrepreneur.”
She added:
> “It has been a pleasure to interact with the diverse members on the panel, and of course with the HerKey team itself, which is unreservedly supportive. I hope we can continue to collaborate on this platform and help other women reach their career aspirations. Thank you so much to the HerKey team for this award; it has been an absolute honour!”
Uttara’s recognition at the Her Rising Awards 2025 underscores her leadership, creativity, and commitment to building a brand grounded in authenticity, efficacy, and expertise — inspiring the next generation of women entrepreneurs.
