Sahajan
Lisa Mattam is Founder and CEO of Sahajan, the leading Ayurvedic, clean beauty brand, clinically-proven
to deliver results.
Since founding the brand in 2015, Lisa has grown it into a global force with an international presence
and digital-first distribution model. In 2023, she spearheaded Sahajan’s global partnership with leading
luxury hotels: The St. Regis, The Ritz, J.W. Marriott, and W Hotels, placing it as the exclusive skincare
brand in 400 properties and 200,000 luxury hotel rooms worldwide.
Under Lisa’s leadership, Sahajan has repeatedly been recognized for its excellence, most recently
receiving awards such as the 2023 Cosmopolitan Clean Beauty Award and a 2023 Oprah Daily Editor’s
Choice Award. Both Lisa and Sahajan have become media fixtures, featured in outlets including Forbes,
Vogue, WWD, PopSugar, Glamour, Elle magazine, Buzzfeed, and more, with Forbes dubbing Lisa a
“pioneer in the beauty space,” for bringing Ayurvedic beauty to the forefront.
Previously, Lisa spent over a decade working in Pharmaceuticals, which inspired her dual approach to
Sahajan, blending clinical science with the power of Ayurveda—an integral part of her South Indian
heritage—to create high-performing, clinically-relevant, and clean products people can trust. She holds
dual degrees from McMaster University and a diploma in European Business from ESC Rouen, France.
