Mamaearth's Ghazal Alagh Warns of Early Confidence

Ghazal Alagh, who co-founded Mamaearth, wrote a post on LinkedIn about the dangers of feeling too confident too soon.

She said that when you start a business, you might feel really good after a few successes, but that can make you think you know everything.

This is called the Dunning-Kruger Effect, where people think they are better at something than they really are.

Ghazal shared three important lessons from her 10 years of running Mamaearth.

First, she said it's good to admit when you don't know something because that's how you learn.

Second, she advised hiring people who are smarter than you to help with things you're not good at.

Lastly, she said you should always keep learning and never think you know everything about your customers.

She believes that staying curious and being open to being wrong is the key to success.
