India Hicks

Listen to "India Hicks Empowerment" on Spreaker. India Hicks, the founder and creative force behind the eponymous lifestyle brand, empowers and enables women to become entrepreneurs and run their own successful small businesses. It also helps gives back to local communities.                 India has had such success that GOOD HOUSEKEEPING MAGAZINE has announced her as the 2017  "ENTREPRENEURSHIP and FEMALE EMPOWERMENT" awardee.  She will be featured in the September issue.                 When she was 13 years old - India was one of Princess Diana's bridesmaid. She is the goddaughter and second cousin to Prince Charles.                 Fast forward to 2015, after a decade of successful licensing partnerships with notable companies such as Crabtree & Evelyn and HSN, India launched INDIA HICKS Inc– a lifestyle brand sold through "Ambassadors."  The company uses a special modern approach of bypassing traditional retail channels like departments stores and sells her highly covetable products exclusively inside homes, at events and online through these women. Think 21st Century Avon or Mary Kay.                 With more than 2000 Ambassadors, India Hicks is building out a unique platform that provides real opportunity for those who get involved to generate sizable incomes, quickly become female entrepreneurs and get to run their own successful small businesses. India’s lifestyle collection fits in perfectly with the chic, active lifestyle of the modern woman.  Her collection is also a perfect opportunity for women to fulfill their entrepreneurial dreams without the sleepless nights and financial risk of creating one from scratch.                   India’s innovative business model also includes Get Together Give Together events, where the collection is sold and a portion of those sales go to the host's charity of choice, allowing them to give back to their communities and local causes.                 Ambassadors live across the United States with strong presences in Florida, Texas and Illinois. Missouri, Kansas, Minnesota and Wisconsin saw explosive growth last year. And the company  plans to focus on other states showing tremendous potential.                India Hicks has made such tremendous headway that she  has been selected by the editors of Good Housekeeping Magazine for her role in promoting female entrepreneurship for their September issue.   From Good Housekeeping (GH):  “India Hicks was selected for her entrepreneurship and her outstanding company that not only provides jobs, but also gives back.  She is a game changer, an influencer, and an inspiration." The editors of GH and guest editor Melinda Gates went through thousands of candidates to narrow it down to the 15 winners this year.  "They must be making a difference in their fields, breaking barriers.”
