Vineeta Singh wasn't a struggling entrepreneur who built Sugar Cosmetics from zero. She was born into academic royalty. Father was world renowned AIIMS biophysicist. Mother was PhD holder. Academic dynasty. No survival mode. At 23, she rejected ₹1 crore job at Deutsche Bank. They called it bold entrepreneurship. But boldness needs backup and Vineeta had it all. Father Tej P. Singh was India's most decorated biophysicist. First Indian to receive all six Ramachandran Awards. She went to IIT Madras for electrical engineering. Then IIM Ahmedabad MBA. Elite education pipeline. Could afford multiple startup failures. Quetzal failed. Fab Bag struggled. Family cushion meant risk without consequence. Started Sugar Cosmetics with family loan from father. Not bootstrapped — privilege-strapped. 100 VC rejections with AIIMS scientist father hits different than rejections when failure means homelessness. Her entrepreneurial spirit was real — but her runway was built by privilege.
