Redefining the Culinary Industry with Aishwarya Iyer


Listen Later

“Nothing lasts forever, we're all gonna die. It’s all very short. So, having that perspective kind of makes you say, ‘We're not around for that long, we probably should make the most of it and be happy.’”


In this episode of Entreprenista, we sat down with Aishwarya Iyer, founder and CEO of Brightland, a stylish olive oil, vinegar, and honey company that sources its products directly from small family farms in California and Hawaii. Aishwarya was inspired to create Brightland as an ode to her family’s passion for food and the nourishment that comes from sharing a table with loved ones. Tune in to hear how self doubt nearly stopped Aishwarya from following her dream, the resources she targeted to get the brand launched, and how Brightland has evolved since its 2018 launch. 


We talked about: 

  • The entrepreneurial spirit doesn’t always start early on (02:14)
  • How working with a life coach can be transformational (10:16)
  • Aishwarya’s R&D process for Brightland (14:29)
  • The decision to raise venture capital (22:16)
  • The evolution of Brightland’s marketing strategy (26:45)
