Alia Bhatt Isn’t Just Acting-She’s Architecting the Future of Indian Entrepreneurship

Alia Bhatt, regarded as one of the top actresses in Bollywood, is making more news today for her rising entrepreneur credentials than her filmography. Bhatt has been methodically establishing a business portfolio that is breaking the mold of celebrity in India.

 

From launching her eco-friendly apparel line Ed-a-Mamma-which focuses on responsible maternity and children's clothing-to her founding of Eternal Sunshine Productions, Bhatt is moving the bar on what it means to be a celebrity in the entrepreneur space away from the silver screen. Her production house has already put out successful projects, like "Darlings" and "Poacher," and will soon roll out upcoming projects, including "Jigra," starring her.

 

Bhatt is not just only focusing on her entrepreneurial exploits, but is also investing in up-and-coming Indian brands. She has stake in Nykaa, the beauty and lifestyle juggernaut, as well as Phool, a wellness company that creates luxury products from floral waste, and StyleCracker, India's first fashion styling platform. In every business deal Bhatt enters into, her emphasis on sustainability and women's empowerment is apparent.

 

Bhatt's influence is even traversing the television screen, as she's recently hosted the business reality show "Mission Start Ab," which profiles innovators at the grassroots level, and develops India's start-up ecosystem. 

 

With an estimated net worth of over Rs 550 crore, and a track record of investing in meaningful, future-focused ventures, Alia Bhatt is not just a superstar of Bollywood-she's an enterprising woman who is rewriting the playbook of success in the entertainment and entrepreneurship spaces in India.
