"I do not sell products. I sell an entire

Introduction

She captured the markets around the world and now she wants to conquer space.
In
an innovative move, Shahnaz Husain has started work on formulations that
astronauts could carry with them in their extraterrestrial sojourns to protect
their skin from the ravages of space travel and slow down the ageing process.
She has sent National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) free samples
of her moisturizers, hoping that they will be used on space expeditions.
Shahnaz
Husain is one of India's most successful women entrepreneurs.
