Hailing from Lucknow, Vineeta Singh is an IIT Madras alumni who later continued her studies in IIM Ahmedabad. Before Sugar, a cosmetic brand that became a household name, she started Quetzal, but the company failed to take off.

Finally, in 2015, along with her husband, Kaushik Mukherjee, she launched Sugar, which claims to provide high-quality cosmetics at affordable prices.
