Anisa Telwar Kaicker is the founder and CEO of Anisa International. She started her business in 1992 from a single brush – and has since created hundreds of state-of-the-art beauty tools through her passion for artistry and grassroots entrepreneurship. In 2003, she opened manufacturing facilities in China, a first-of-its-kind, environmentally-conscious operation that she wholly owns and operates – cementing it as the only female-owned brush manufacturer in the world. As a pioneer in responsible beauty, she was also the first to shift from animal hair to high-performance, man-made fibers, ensuring all Anisa brushes are cruelty-free and ethically made.
