How an olive oil entrepreneur found success by emulating Ralph Lauren
Briefly

Brightland, founded by Aishwarya Iyer in 2018, is positioned as a luxury olive oil brand in the competitive food space. With products priced around $40, the business has thrived through gifting, particularly evident during the last holiday season. A new "everyday" olive oil has been launched at a lower price point to attract daily consumers as well. A new partnership with an olive farmer is expected to enhance production capabilities, enabling Brightland to expand its market and potentially double or triple its revenue.
