Priyanka Gill is a serial entrepreneur whose journey proves that there is no single, “right” timeline for success. Born in a small agricultural village in Punjab, she married at 20, became a mother early, and spent her twenties raising her children—long before she ever imagined building companies.
An English Honours graduate from Lady Shri Ram College, Delhi, Priyanka had no formal business background and no exposure to entrepreneurship. At 32, she started her first company by learning on the job. That venture grew into POPxo, followed by Plixxo, together shaping how modern consumers discover content and how brands engage with creators in India. She later served as a Venture Partner at Kalaari Capital.
Her journey, however, was not linear. After exiting her earlier venture and facing the reality of starting again, Priyanka chose reinvention over retreat. In her early forties, she went back to school—earning her MBA from Columbia Business School and London Business School—proving that ambition does not expire.
Today, she is the Founder & CEO of COLUXE, a premium lab-grown diamond fine jewellery brand built on the belief that luxury can be ethical, accessible, and empowering.
Priyanka often says she did life in reverse—raising children in her twenties, building companies in her thirties, and starting over with clarity and courage in her forties. Through her talks, she inspires women returning to work to trust their own timing, back themselves even without a perfect resume, and believe that if she could do it, so can they
Priyanka launched a lab-grown diamond (LLGD) brand name Coluxe, the new venture has secured early-stage funding from investors and plans to launch digitally in mid-2025
As Venture Partner at Kalaari capital, Priyanka Gill advises portfolio companies on growth, marketing, and brand strategy. She also leads the CXXO initiative that champions female-led startups. This aligns with her passion for empowering entrepreneurs, especially women to help them maximize potential and value.
Priyanka is also the co-founder of the Good Glamm Group. Her entrepreneurial journey began in 2013 with the founding of POPxo, India’s leading digital platform for women and Plixxo, an influencer marketing platform. Kalaari Capital led the Series A funding round. In 2020, the merger of POPxo and Plixxo with MyGlamm resulted in the formation of the Good Glamm Group. Valued at USD 1.2 billion on the back of a content-creator-commerce strategy, the group owns beauty, digital media and influencer brands. In 2024, Priyanka was elevated to the board of Good Glamm Group.
Alongside this, Priyanka serves on the board of TiE Delhi-NCR. She is also the host of “Dream Build Scale”, a podcast for entrepreneurs that focuses on actionable takeaways from inspirational stories of leaders and creators.
