Mayank Arya

Before becoming the Co-founder and CEO of YesMadam, India’s leading at-home salon and wellness brand, Mayank Arya was—and still is—a dreamer, a doer, and above all, a compassionate leader. A loving husband and a visionary entrepreneur, Mayank embodies the strength of a positive mindset paired with an unshakable determination to create meaningful change.

Hailing from Amroha, a small town in Uttar Pradesh, Mayank always dreamed bigger than the world around him. Determined to see those dreams through, he pursued a Diploma in Nautical Studies at Singapore Polytechnic. His professional journey began on the high seas as a Second Officer at Tanker Pacific Management in Singapore. It was here, while navigating uncharted waters, that he honed his leadership skills and developed a thirst for exploration—not just of the world but of opportunities waiting to be discovered.

Mayank’s entrepreneurial journey took him to Liberia, West Africa, where he built successful businesses across industries, achieving millionaire status before the age of 30. From e-commerce to Ayurvedic medicine, his ventures were driven by innovation, including patenting a groundbreaking health formulation. But life threw him a curveball when the Ebola outbreak forced him to return to India. What could have been a setback became a turning point.

Back home, Mayank saw a gap in the home salon industry—one that needed innovation, trust, and transparency. Drawing from his vast experiences and business acumen, he set out to build YesMadam, a brand designed to revolutionize how salon services are delivered. Today, as the driving force behind YesMadam’s success, he uses his hyper-strategic mindset to expand the brand and position it as a leader in the industry.

Mayank lives by a simple yet profound motto: “Understand the problem first, then explore every possible solution without limiting yourself—because only then can you build something better than the best.” His journey is a testament to resilience, vision, and the belief that challenges aren’t roadblocks; they’re stepping stones to greatness.
