Gazall B Kothari
Entrepreneur, Skincare Formulator, podcaster, and skincare founder Gazall B. Kothari recently took the TEDx stage with a powerful narrative that went beyond business success - redefining the true meaning of the "X-Factor." Her talk was not about overnight wins or viral moments, but about the quiet courage it takes to begin, rebuild, and believe in one's own voice. Gazall is the founder of Leafoberryy Skincare, a brand that reflects her philosophy and dedication to empowering people through skincare.
In her TEDx talk, Gazall shared a deeply personal journey - one that began not in boardrooms or balance sheets, but during motherhood. She spoke about a defining moment during pregnancy when a single kick from her unborn daughter became a turning point, igniting the vision that would later grow into her skincare brand. What followed were years of experimentation, failures, restarts, and resilience - all unfolding behind the scenes, far from glamour.
Rather than presenting a polished success story, Gazall chose honesty. She addressed setbacks, delayed opportunities, self-doubt, and the emotional weight of building something meaningful while navigating personal and professional responsibilities. For her, the X-Factor was not talent or luck - it was the willingness to stay present even when outcomes were uncertain.
The talk resonated strongly with audiences, especially women entrepreneurs and creators, because it reflected a reality many live but rarely speak about - the courage to continue when validation is absent. Gazall emphasized that true innovation is often born in silence, patience, and persistence, not applause.
As the founder of a modern, conscious skincare brand and host of a knowledge-driven podcast, Gazall's TEDx appearance marked a shift from being seen only as a brand builder to being recognized as a thought leader and storyteller. Her message aligned deeply with today's evolving narrative - where success is measured not only by scale, but by intention, impact, and integrity.
Gazall's TEDx journey stands as a reminder that the real X-Factor is not something external to be chased. It is internal - shaped by lived experiences, values, and the courage to start again.
In an era obsessed with instant results, her story quietly urges audiences to pause, reflect, and trust their own journey.
