    Olivia Cotes-James | How a social entrepreneur turned a grassroots community into a socially-driven business

    Whether you’re building a team or shaping corporate culture, this conversation will bring you vital lessons in championing equity, sustainability and inclusion! Award-winning social entrepreneur Olivia Cotes-James shares how a personal mission to challenge the stigma around women’s periods led to her founding two socially-driven businesses that are transforming workplaces across Asia by making menstrual health a core part of DEI. Her company LUÜNA pioneered sustainable menstrual products that address health and environmental impacts. Building on this foundation, she recently launched Good Period, an initiative that partners with leading companies to ensure menstrual equity is embedded into workplace culture, reinvesting profits into programmes that expand access to reusable menstrual care across local communities. Olivia’s story is a powerful example of how personal challenges can spearhead collective change.

    Naman Tekriwal | The 24yo who turned purpose into profit and created a global beer brand

    Students may have a reputation for enjoying a pint or two, but ex-HKUST student Naman Tekriwal has gone step beyond most!

Now, at just 24, he is recognised as one of Forbes 30-Under-30 honourees, and is also the founder of What You Building, HK’s largest entrepreneurship community, and backs new founders through his venture studio Orange Juice Ventures. In this episode, Naman talks to Rasheed about how his family background inspired him to innovate with purpose, what he has learnt through his scaling of Breer to international markets, and how he continues to build businesses that generate both value and meaning.
