The People Behind AspKom
A vision is built by people. A legacy is carried by many.
AspKom’s leadership story is not simply a list of designations. It is a story of people who have contributed different perspectives, experiences and aspirations to a larger vision around health, wellness, entrepreneurship, innovation and meaningful human impact.
Leadership
Different perspectives. One direction.
Each person represents a different dimension of the journey that continues to shape AspKom.
Ashu Gaur
Founder • AspKom
Ashu Gaur is the founder of AspKom and brings together experience across branding, business advisory, marketing strategy and nutraceutical product development.
His current focus is on helping startups and emerging health businesses move from concept and formulation through prototype, manufacturing and the wider journey of building a sustainable brand.
Ela Gaur
Founder • Epsha Lifestyle Collections
Ela Gaur brings a lifestyle and wellness perspective to the wider AspKom vision. Her interest in thoughtful lifestyle experiences contributes another dimension to the ecosystem’s understanding of how health and wellness connect with everyday life.
Her perspective reinforces an important AspKom principle: wellness is not only about products; it is also about how people experience, understand and integrate healthier choices into their lives.
Shikha Mathur

Shikha Mathur brings an entrepreneurial, branding and digital perspective to the broader journey around AspKom. Her experience in developing a distinct consumer-facing brand contributes to the ecosystem’s understanding of identity, communication and modern audiences.
Her journey reflects the wider entrepreneurial spirit that AspKom seeks to encourage — people creating purposeful businesses around evolving consumer needs.
Komal Chauhan
Co-Founder • AspKom
Komal Chauhan was a Co-Founder of AspKom and an important part of its formative journey.
Her contribution remains part of the foundation on which the continuing AspKom story is being built.
Komal
Chauhan
A part of AspKom’s foundation.
Some people leave a role. Some leave a part of themselves in the journey.
Komal Chauhan, Co-Founder of AspKom, passed away in 2024. Her place in the story is therefore not presented simply as a former designation. She remains part of the founding history of AspKom.
The early years of any venture are shaped by people who believe in an idea before that idea has become what it eventually grows into. Komal’s association belongs to that formative chapter of AspKom.
As the ecosystem continues to evolve around health, wellness, knowledge, entrepreneurship and innovation, the journey carries forward with respect for those who helped create its foundation.
Beyond Designations
Four perspectives that shaped different parts of the journey.
The value of a leadership ecosystem is not that everyone thinks alike. It is that different perspectives can contribute toward a common purpose.
Strategy & Product Thinking
Connecting business strategy, branding, formulation, product development and commercial opportunity.
Lifestyle & Wellness
Bringing the human, lifestyle and everyday wellness perspective into the wider ecosystem.
Entrepreneurship & Brand
Contributing entrepreneurial thinking, consumer communication and modern brand-building perspective.
Founding Spirit
A founding contribution that remains part of the history, identity and continuing story of AspKom.
What Leadership Means at AspKom
Leadership is not about standing above the ecosystem. It is about helping the ecosystem move forward.
A connected approach to health & wellness.
AspKom’s leadership philosophy is built around collaboration rather than isolation. The future of health and wellness requires different forms of knowledge to meet at the right point.
Entrepreneurs need formulation expertise. Formulators need quality ingredients. Manufacturers need responsible specifications. Brands need positioning. Consumers need credible information. Regulatory and compliance professionals help ensure that ambition remains within appropriate boundaries.
Leadership therefore means creating the conditions for these perspectives to connect.
The Ecosystem Beyond the Leadership Team
AspKom becomes stronger when the right people connect.
The leadership team is only one part of the larger ecosystem AspKom seeks to build. We want to connect health and wellness influencers, enthusiasts, dieticians, doctors, food scientists, nutraceutical professionals, manufacturers, ingredient specialists, regulatory and compliance experts, entrepreneurs and organisations working across the health, medical and food sectors.
The goal is not to create a closed network. It is to create meaningful connections where knowledge, experience and opportunity can move between people.
The Common Ground
Health. Wellness. Science. Responsibility.
These are not separate ideas at AspKom. They form the foundation around which the ecosystem is being developed.
Research Before Hype
AspKom aims to encourage a culture where product ideas are informed by research, scientific reasoning and appropriate evidence rather than being driven solely by trends.
Wellness With Responsibility
Health and wellness communication should respect consumers, acknowledge uncertainty where it exists and avoid turning complex science into exaggerated promises.
People Before Platforms
Technology, products and brands matter, but the people who create, evaluate, manufacture, communicate and use them ultimately shape their impact.
India With Global Ambition
AspKom’s long-term direction is connected to the opportunity for India to build globally credible nutraceutical, health and wellness products backed by research, science and quality.
The Vision Continues
People begin the journey. The ecosystem carries it forward.
From the people who helped establish the foundation to those who will shape its future, AspKom’s story continues to evolve. The ambition remains to connect knowledge, people and opportunity in pursuit of better health and wellness products — and a stronger Indian nutraceutical ecosystem.
