We have Garvita Gulhati, Founder and CEO of ‘Why Waste? – Forbes 30 under 30, Asia! Why Waste is India’s largest youth-led non-profit organization working towards water conservation. The fact that 14 million liters of water is wasted every year in India just from the amount people leave behind in cups in restaurants led to the formation of ‘Why Waste’.

With relentless efforts, Garvita and her team, is trying to spread awareness about water conservation and changing habits and mindsets one cup at a time! 

Not only does Garvita holds a title of ‘Global Changemaker’ but also is the only Indian recipient of the Shawn Mendes Foundation’s (SMF) Wonder Grant. She also received the prestigious Diana Award from the charity in honor of the late Princess of Wales, last year!

Statically, half of the world’s population could be living in areas facing water scarcity by as early as 2025 and some 700 million people could be displaced by intense water scarcity by 2030. With an escalating global water crisis impending over us, it is time to resolutely work towards conserving this limited and costly resource which is of great importance for human life and sustenance.

Guts, Glory & Story brings you yet another session with Rohan Mirchandani - Co-Founder, Epigamia. Rohan’s journey is a true example of perseverance and conviction. He spent most of his youth growing up in New York, but in 2013, he left everything behind and moved to India to launch his dream venture - Epigamia. The roots of Epigamia dates back more than a decade when Drums was born as an ice-cream manufacturer producing the Hokey-Pokey brand. Soon thereafter, the ice-cream business was stopped and whatever was learned was put behind the yogurt business. The plan was to create a lifestyle brand that would cater to healthier eating trends - and that’s how Epigamia was born. Moreover, Bollywood Actress Deepika Padukone’s strategic initiative arm invested in Drum Foods International - the maker of flavoured yogurt brand and Deepika’s role as the brand ambassador took Epigamia to new heights.

For Rohan, success is a legacy that comes from work and family. He wants to leave behind a brand that stands the test of time way after he’s gone.
