On this week’s Merri-Cast episode, we pick up where we left off with part 2 of our incredible conversation with Dr Zareen Roohi Ahmed.
In this episode, Zareen digs deeper into her work with Gift Wellness and shares how she launched the company without any business background. Gift Wellness is redefining what ethical, sustainable businesses can look like – from eco-friendly period products to impactful partnerships with shelters and food banks.
Zareen also shares insights on:
• Realising period poverty wasn’t just abroad, but everywhere, including on her doorstep.
• Building eco-friendly products before “sustainable” was a trend.
• Facing resistance and breaking long-held taboos about period poverty.
• Learning the hard way about how product distribution works.
“Be prolific, not perfect.”
That’s one of Zareen’s mantras – and both this episode and part 1 left a deep impression on us in this respect and many others.
