Social Entrepreneur, Disrupt-her & New Mom, Miki Agrawal – Inventor of THINX & founder of Tushy

Could some of the most uncomfortable things to talk about create the most change in the world?

Miki Agrawal believes so, which is why she’s built taboo-crushing successful businesses like her period-proof underwear company THINX, her pee-proof underwear company ICON, her gluten-free, farm-friendly pizza eatery WILD, and her newest modern bidet attachment company TUSHY.

In today’s episode, Miki speaks about what it was like the day she found out she was pregnant, why she didn’t wait to tell people about her pregnancy, and why she’s on a mission to prove to women that they can question the status quo, persevere against difficult odds, and continue to emerge as an empowered disrupt-her.

What makes Miki tick?

“I’ve always loved questioning the status quo and society’s approach to things. Is there a better, more efficient, more environmentally friendly, more design considered, more artful way to do them? I’ve always been fascinated with the process of discovery, invention and rapid improvements and my favorite saying is “iteration is perfection”. I feel a great sense of pride in having built successful companies that have tackled taboos head on, are truly changing culture and improving the lives of millions of people around the world. I’ve also learned a great deal of lessons (oh, have I ever) in the process of building these businesses and I look forward to sharing them as I go.”
