With it being named after a South Asian treat, it's no surprise that the company was founded by a woman who is proud of her roots. It was all started by a woman named Priyanka Ganjoo who began her journey in the beauty industry in the early 2010s working for beauty subscription service IPSY. There, she decided that she was going to start a brand that honored and celebrated her vibrant South Asian culture.

In an interview with makeup.com, Ganjoo shared, "One of the things I felt really frustrated by was that I still didn't see people who looked like me. I didn't see South Asian people being represented in the brands and in the products that were being developed int terms of shade ranges."

Thus, Kulfi was born — a brand that is designed to help other women of color feel empowered and represented by the beauty industry. It encourages people of all races and backgrounds to experiment with color, even if they have been discouraged from doing so in the past.

And, the brand wants people to remember that makeup is supposed to be fun! Ganjoo explained more of the inspiration for the brand and said, "Thinking back to the moments in my life when I felt really carefree and playful, and I remembered eating kulfi on a hot summer day in Delhi."
