Shantanu Deshpande, CEO and Co-Founder of Bombay Shaving Company
Shantanu Deshpande is the CEO and Co-Founder at Bombay Shaving Company which is a high-end personal care and grooming solutions company dedicated to providing absolutely exceptional customer service. They have bath and body, skin, and beard care products.
Shantanu Deshpande, a computer science engineer who works for McKinsey, a worldwide management consulting firm, renounced the “good life” in the blink of an eye to give India’s urban male population the smoothest shaving experience. He worked at McKinsey for five years, and it was the most wonderful professional first step one can take. When he departed, he met wonderful supervisors and mentors, with 25 of them investing in Bombay Shaving Company. Shantanu founded Bombay Shaving Company in 2016 alongside Deepu Panicker, Raunak Munot, and Rohit Jaiswal to disrupt the men’s grooming sector.
Shantanu and his company is responsible for creating a comprehensive range of products across shaving, haircare, skincare, and beard care, enriched with the benefits of superfoods, on the backbone of incisive consumer insights and an insatiable commitment to set the standard in innovation. Their carefully tailored personal care routines also make ideal giving ideas for special occasions.
During the COVID-19 pandemic-related lockdown last year, the grooming company claimed to have seen a 3X increase in revenue, with its entry into the women’s grooming industry being one of the key drivers.
Bombay Shaving Company now conducts business both online and offline, and their products are divided into four categories: shaving, bath, beard, and skin. Bombay Shaving Company is attempting to establish a product line that stands out for its reliable product quality with a staff of 60 young professionals.
