In a market where investor sentiment towards D2C startups remains cautious, on Thursday, Deconstruct bagged Rs 65 crore funding. Backed by DSG Consumer Partners, V3 Ventures and L’Oréal’s BOLD venture fund, this achievement underscores the strength of its founder, Malini Adapureddy, and her commitment to building a brand rooted in efficacy and customer trust.
Adding a deeply personal touch to this milestone, her husband, Prateek Jain—Principal at the Fundamentum Partnership—penned a heartfelt tribute reflecting on Malini’s remarkable journey. Through his LinkedIn post, he offered a rare glimpse into the challenges she overcame, juggling the birth of their daughter, Devaki, with the immense pressures of steering a near-empty startup towards profitability and growth.
A Startup Born Amid Life’s Biggest Challenges
“The ecosystem almost convinced her that building a consumer business today is impossible without funding,” shares Jain. Despite the overwhelming odds, she chose to fight. Barely a week postpartum, she was back to work, determined to prove her philosophy of creating ‘highly effective yet gentle’ skincare products for everyday use.
What set Adapureddy apart was her engineering mindset, which she leveraged to prioritise effectively and build a sustainable business. “She decided to declutter and focus on the top three SKUs that were getting great customer feedback,” says Jain. Operating on first principles, Adapureddy streamlined operations, improved cash flow and turned her lean resources into an advantage.
In a move reminiscent of Dollar Shave Club’s viral marketing, the typically media-shy entrepreneur starred in a video just two months postpartum, showcasing her commitment to the brand and its mission. By December 2024, before any new funds had even arrived, Deconstruct had grown 10 times and achieved profitability for the entirety of FY25, operating on a negative working capital cycle.
Fast forward to January 2025, Deconstruct has raised Rs 65 crore in funding from DSG Consumer Partners, V3 Ventures and BOLD, the venture fund of L’Oréal. This infusion of capital validates Adapureddy’s vision and marks a significant milestone for the company. The funds will be used to scale operations, expand product lines and further solidify its position in the direct-to-consumer (D2C) skincare market.
Jain lauds the team’s role in this turnaround. “The stellar team at Deconstruct, almost none of whom come from FMCG or BPC backgrounds, stood by Malini like a rock,” he says. Their high ownership and commitment to first principles were instrumental in executing Malini’s vision.
At the heart of Deconstruct’s story is its unwavering focus on customer satisfaction. “It takes a village to raise a child, and in this case, it’s both Deconstruct and Devaki that this village has helped raise,” says Jain. The brand’s ethos of prioritising ‘Customer Love over Investor Love’ has not only earned it a loyal consumer base but also caught the attention of marquee investors.
Her story is as much a testament to her grit as it is a masterclass in entrepreneurial resilience. “Watching you execute over the last 16 months—at the peak of pregnancy, through postpartum, and after—will be the story I keep telling our daughter,” he writes. “You are a superwoman—I am your biggest fanboy!”
As Deconstruct steps into its next phase of growth with its innovative product strategy, dedicated team and fresh funding, the brand is poised to redefine D2C skincare in India.

As Malini works to expand Renesas India’s workforce
her own experience as a women leader has naturally led her to explore avenues for hiring more women engineers to create a workplace that enables diverse ideas and drives growth
Malini and her team supported Renesas’ CEO
who joined a roundtable with other global semiconductor leaders and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the inaugural SEMICON India conference in New Delhi
Renesas presented almost 50 different solutions in our booth at electronica India and SEMICON India
Malini herself participated in a panel discussion on automotive components at the event
We spoke with Malini about India’s growth prospects
and how those are helping Renesas meet its goal to increase company revenue to $20 billion by 2030
Renesas: Why has India been such a focus for Renesas over the last few years
What growth opportunities has the company identified
our Hon'ble Prime Minister gave a kick-start to India’s vision of self-reliance (aka Athmanirbhar Bharath) through economic policies and incentives that included a focus on electronics and semiconductors
we had Indian products like Videocon and Onida
But with the relaxation of import tariffs on foreign goods
Western companies gained a stronger presence
many Indian brands gradually lost their market share
Thanks to this new ‘Make in India’ program promoting domestic manufacturing
we're back to a point where India wants to build its own products
and the government is fostering an ecosystem to make that happen
Renesas: What makes India a strong candidate as a design and manufacturing hub
Malini: India has a huge talent pool that is well-educated
with a number of engineering colleges churning out new grads
India is cost-competitive and as a geopolitically neutral country is easy to work with
All these make India a desirable place for companies like ourselves to grow
Renesas: What does the Renesas footprint in India look like today
We have a sales and marketing office in Delhi and an office in Pune which has both engineering and sales
Our newest offices are in Hyderabad and Noida
We are a minority stakeholder in a joint venture with CG Power
and packaging facility is being built in Sanand
Renesas India is growing across all locations
and we aspire to double the headcount we have today by 2025
Renesas: How will an increase in headcount help you achieve your business goals
Malini: One approach to catering to the India market is to approach design from the standpoint of local demand
two-wheelers dominate the sector due to their accessibility and affordability
While much of the world develops technology for four-wheeled vehicles – and merely retrofits for the two-wheeler market – this represents a large underserved market with large local demand
Given the increasing interest from startups and established companies to manufacture products in India
one might question the implications for Renesas
We have a broad portfolio of semiconductor chips that span automotive and industrial applications
Renesas is able to cater all the way from luxury vehicle offerings to the mass market
Renesas also has proof-of-concept teams that can design system-level solutions and collaborate with product companies to show them what they can do as they proceed through their product journey
Our system-level focus aligns with the government’s push toward building electronics in India
I think that combination will enable us to make products tailored for India – but also the global market – and help Renesas India reach our aspiration of contributing to over 10 percent of total Renesas revenue by 2030
India has been known more for software development than hardware engineering
there were a huge number of software companies that came in for recruitment
Software jobs were just easier to find in India
a number of hardware companies have set up shop in India
with India’s push to become self-reliant in electronics
universities are offering more semiconductor and design courses
which is yielding a contingent of fresh college grads with high-quality talent
in addition to our software and digitalization team
We have a systems team as well that helps us build products
and we are growing our capabilities on that front as well
Renesas: How is Renesas capitalizing on this evolving landscape to optimize recruitment
Renesas India also has partnered with a number of universities to implement university programs and internship opportunities
which help them prepare for real-world engineering jobs
Renesas: The most recent Renesas Business & Sustainability report mentions that 30 percent of new hires in India last year were women
Malini: We were very happy to see that 30 percent of the new hires last year in India were women
30 to 40 percent of engineering school graduates tend to be women
women need a little extra confidence building to make changes to their work-life balance
We are very supportive of having more women in Renesas
we typically have a woman from one of our teams talk with each of them to share their experiences at Renesas
The idea is to provide them with role models and show them that Renesas is a supportive place that welcomes and encourages women
is a huge driving force on diversity initiatives and goes the extra mile to ensure the women at Renesas are supported in their career journeys
We have also partnered with India’s largest career engagement platform for women
which provides 'returnship' resources to women who have taken a break from their careers and want to re-enter the workforce
We would like to see our diversity numbers grow in the coming years as we expand our sites across India
does that take you back to your early days as an engineer
What was the motivation for your career choice
and how is Renesas helping further your ambitions
but an injury caused me to re-focus on academics
I had to choose between engineering and medicine
Engineering was the obvious choice given my inclination toward math
As I went through my courses in engineering
I was always seeking out the big picture in the topics being taught
This system and big-picture thinking helps me in my job at Renesas every day
What I loved about Renesas when I accepted this job – and still love – is that it does not limit me or pigeonhole me into a specific area
I’ve always been able to work across boundaries
while the constant learning culture here continues to shape my growth as a person
and solutions delivered straight to your inbox

What do you think about Hema Malini's revelations?ADVT
has made many girls go weak in their knees with his looks
But the actor was bowled over by the South Indian beauty
A new debate has started over the Indian television show 'Indian Idol' after a Reddit post showed Hema Malini holding the script of the show
The incident came to light after the Holi special episode of the show aired in which Hema Malini was a guest judge
The post shows a picture of Hema Malini smiling in a white sari while talking to someone behind the camera and holding the script of the show
The script not only outlined the episode but also contained the words that Hema Malini was to speak
The script was in Devanagari script and had a sentence that read
"Hemaji will describe Mathura style Holi: Priyaganshu calls it Lath Maar Holi." The script shows that the dialogues that were shown on the show were prepared in advance
which strengthens the notion that reality shows are completely scripted in reality
"This is really shameful." Another shared that she had worked backstage at a dance reality show and found that everything in the show
and even the fact that she likes the song and asks the contestants to dance to it
Many other users said that this is nothing new
"Do you really think reality shows are made like this
they plan everything." While some even said that reality shows have always been scripted
like Bigg Boss is also scripted to some extent
