Founding Story
Rahul Yadav co-founded Minimalist in 2020 alongside Mohit Yadav. Recognizing that the Indian skincare market was completely saturated with 'ayurvedic' and 'natural' brands making vague, unscientific claims, he launched Minimalist to provide absolute, clinical transparency. By clearly stating the exact percentage of active chemicals (like Niacinamide or Salicylic Acid) on the front of the bottle, he completely revolutionized how Indian millennials buy skincare. (Exact birth year remains publicly undisclosed).
