She built a brand with no marketing budget, no business degree, and no models - just herself on every single product page. In this fireside from LIT School's Careers of the Future summit, Nish Hair founder ⁨‪@Parul_Gulati‬ breaks down the exact content playbook that turns followers into sales. We get into why follower count is dead, why she posts before she thinks, how she "weaponised" her ADHD with deadlines, the story behind her human-hair dress at Cannes, and the one rule she thinks every business book gets wrong. If you're an aspiring founder, creator, or both - this is the content-to-commerce masterclass nobody teaches. ▶️ Stay till the end for the hiring problem no founder has solved for her yet. ⏱️ Chapters 0:00 "The best way to ruin an idea is ask 10 people" 2:04 The traits behind Parul: bold, shameless, no fear of judgment 4:04 Two careers, zero degrees 4:49 Starting Nish Hair in 2017 & what ads taught her NOT to do 7:02 Breaking every rule in the marketing book 9:14 ₹40,000 in year one: the real grind 10:44 Why a new category takes a full year to click 11:30 Hooks: how to actually grab attention 12:27 Do followers even matter anymore? 13:44 Idea vs execution: do it first, think later 17:28 Just post it: consistency beats the perfect idea 19:18 When inspiration turns into paralysis 20:00 Do it for the little you 21:30 The Cannes dress made of human hair 23:05 Impulsiveness, entrepreneurship & never giving up 24:43 Hiring: degrees, vibes & disasters 26:24 Why she can't hire for marketing (founder-content) 28:45 A Nish fashion line?
