Harvard MBA graduate who built three companies worth more than $1 billion says grandfather didn't talk to her for 3 months when she returned to India

Entrepreneur Naiyya Saggi has revealed that her grandfather stopped speaking to her for three months after she chose to return to India following her studies at Harvard instead of building a career in the US.

Speaking to content creator Viraj Ala in a recent vox pop-style interview, Saggi said her grandfather believed she had given up a major opportunity by returning to India. Saggi, who founded BabyChakra and later became a co-founder of The Good Glamm Group, is now building a new consumer-tech company called EDT.

Naiyya Saggi's full scholarship to Harvard

When Ala asked Saggi about her education, she revealed that she received a full scholarship to Harvard.

According to her LinkedIn profile, Saggi first studied BA LLB (Hons) at the National Law School of India University before pursuing an MBA at Harvard Business School. She was a Fulbright and JN Tata scholar during her time at Harvard.
