Miki Agrawal is a public speaker, author, and entrepreneur. She is making a difference in the world through her work in social entrepreneurship. She has also founded and directed several successful enterprises to upend established markets.
By breaking down barriers and navigating bureaucratic bottlenecks, Agrawal could give her enterprises the same sincerity for which she is known. She was motivated by the notion that she could alter entire markets.
Miki Agrawal founded Wild, a gluten-free farm-to-table pizza concept, Thinx, period pants with a purpose, and Tushy, a sanitary pad company. Agrawal is on a quest to solve long-standing issues in underrepresented industries and to effect significant change (bidet attachments for every toilet).
She founded the companies Wild (a gluten-free farm-to-table pizza restaurant), Thinx (on-the-go period underwear), and Spanx (a lingerie brand).
Miki Agrawal is a successful entrepreneur as well as a best-selling novelist. “Do Cool Sh*t” and “Disrupt-Her: A Manifesto for the Modern Woman” were both written and self-published by her.
In all of her writings, Agrawal encourages readers to be their authentic selves, be tenacious, and maintain their integrity in their personal and professional lives. Agrawal is an excellent public speaker who frequently shares her views with entrepreneurs and other groups.
Miki Agrawal’s parents, who immigrated from Japan and India, instilled in her the value of hard work and doing one’s best. Agrawal moved to work in New York City’s corporate world after graduating high school. Agrawal’s world was flipped upside down on September 11, 2001, when the building she was intended to work in at 2 World Trade Center was destroyed.
Agrawal was grateful to be alive, so she solemnly committed to taking responsibility for her professional and personal lives and accomplishing things that would make her happy, inspire her, and make her feel like her life mattered.
Miki’s Inspiration to Create TUSHY?
The TUSHY concept originated from three distinct sources. The first thing that shocked Agrawal was how popular bidets are in Japan and India, where my parents are from, and how everyone cleans their buttocks with water rather than dry toilet paper.
People in my extended family who reside outside the United States frequently joke that the country is “so far behind” in terms of hygiene since many believe that using water instead of toilet paper is cleaner.
They laughed when I remarked, “Imagine getting into the shower but not turning on the water and instead wiping down your dirtiest bits with dry toilet paper.” “Then why are you acting so nasty with the dirtiest parts of your bodies?” “Do you understand most people would think you were crazy?”
