MEET THE FOUNDER: SMITA VALLURUPALLI
Smita Vallurupalli is no stranger to the limelight or the art of creating something unforgettable. The Telugu pop singer carved her path in the music world, launching her first album, “Hai Rabba”, in 2000 and winning a Filmfare award in 2005. But music is only one facet of this multifaceted personality. Her aesthetic sensibility extends into skincare and wellness, first manifested through her venture Bubbles Salon nearly two decades ago.
A trailblazer at 22, Smita’s commitment to beauty isn’t recent—it’s a seven-year-long journey that culminated in the brand Old School. Through Old School, Vallurupalli is committed to bringing beauty secrets passed down through generations at your fingertips.
Inspired by cherished weekends spent at her ancestral home in Vijayawada, where her loving grandmother handed down natural beauty rituals, Smita aims to bring that “pure love and indulgence” to a wider audience. Her values are clear: a skincare range that’s all-natural, cruelty-free, and ethically sourced. Every product from Old School is a testament to her deep-rooted belief in sustainable practices and attention to detail. “Even if a thousand brands emerge, Old School will retain its unique spot,” she says, adding the seal of assurance from the two lakh customers at Bubbles Salon who’ve experienced these products firsthand. Smita Vallurupalli’s Old School is where her creative artistry coalesces with her entrepreneurial vision, delivering a product and a holistic self-care experience.
