From Television To Global Clean Beauty Manufacturing: How Radhika Dang Gambhir Built India’s Ethical Production Hub

Inside a manufacturing facility in Gurugram, workers measure cold-pressed oils, grind botanicals, and test formulations for more than fifty Indian beauty brands — ranging from emerging indie labels to large, established companies — many of whom rely on Radhika Dang Gambhir’s platform for clean formulation and ethical production.

Dang built this operation after leaving a decade-long career producing wellness content for Discovery TLC, Fox Traveller, and National Geographic Channel, betting that India’s clean beauty and personal care market needed infrastructure as much as marketing.

Under her leadership, The Good Karma Co. has achieved more than 100 percent year-on-year growth, driven by rising demand for ethical manufacturing, transparent sourcing, and clean standards. At a time when most entrepreneurs focused on launching consumer brands, Dang chose to build the infrastructure that the ecosystem lacked.

Her decision to enter manufacturing, apart from launching her own label, has reshaped how smaller and emerging brands access responsible production and transparent formulation, earning her a 2025 Global Recognition Award for leadership, service, and innovation. 

Dang’s path began with Wildflower Naturals, a personalised skincare line she developed after years of translating wellness trends into television narratives. The brand tailored products using natural butters, nut-based oils, and essential botanicals rather than synthetic, toxic shortcuts, and quickly built a loyal following rooted in clean efficacy.

But Dang saw opportunity in the widening gap between what brands wanted to offer and what they could realistically produce with integrity. She later founded The Good Karma Co. as a vertically integrated manufacturing and formulation platform with GMP certification and ISO 9001 compliance, serving companies that lacked capital or technical expertise to manage clean product development at scale. 

Manufacturing For A New Generation

The Good Karma Co. today supports more than 50 brands through third-party manufacturing, drawing on a library of over 500 FDA-approved formulations spanning skincare, haircare, body & personal care, men’s grooming, intimate care, wellness solutions, and organic makeup — a space the company sees significant future potential in.

The facility emphasises a women-led workforce and extends training beyond standard protocols to include sustainability principles and responsible production practices.

Dang’s television background trained her to read audiences, anticipate trends, and translate abstract ideas into accessible narratives — skills she now guides into product development for companies that rely on her platform. Before launching The Good Karma Co., she spent nearly a decade creating wellness programming for major networks, distilling ideas about health and sustainability into actionable stories.

Her transition from media to manufacturing was prompted by a personal experience in Kerala, where she encountered traditional wellness approaches emphasising herbal ingredients. Convinced that India’s beauty industry needed a manufacturing partner delivering clean formulations at scale, she left a successful career without investors. The risk paid off as demand for natural, ethical products accelerated.

Service, Standards, And Global Reach

The Good Karma Co. is FDA-approved, GMP-certified, and ISO 9001-compliant, providing full audit trails that enable partner brands to make verifiable claims about ingredient safety, labour conditions, and environmental impact.

Her emphasis on regulatory compliance and quality systems has positioned The Good Karma Co. as a preferred partner for brands navigating India’s evolving clean beauty standards. Dang’s approach focuses on system-level transformation and expanded access, enabling multiple brands to use shared infrastructure while expressing their own identities.

“As we innovate, our goal remains simple: to create formulations that work universally, ethically and transparently, empowering brands to bring their best to the world,” says Radhika Dang Gambhir, Founder.

Today, The Good Karma Co. has begun developing specialised ranges for global retail partners across South Africa, Europe, and the Middle East. This step reflects Dang’s broader vision: building Indian ethical manufacturing capabilities that can serve international markets without compromising transparency, formulation integrity, or sustainability standards. 

Dang’s influence extends beyond the brands she manufactures. By making transparency operational rather than aspirational, she is quietly reshaping how the beauty industry defines quality, credibility, and responsibility. 
“Radhika Dang Gambhir demonstrates that world-class achievement in business comes from aligning profit with purpose,” noted Alex Sterling, spokesperson for Global Recognition Awards. “Her work proves ethical manufacturing can scale internationally while maintaining the integrity that conscious consumers increasingly demand.”
