Face to Face - Rhea Singhal

After returning from Abroad, she observed people were health conscious but were ignoring the fact that they were using the same old packaging of plastic and thus, eating the same. After this, she became desperate to innovate and offer products that were 100% safe and bio-degradable. She revolutionized the idea of providing Healthy lifestyle by making eco-friendly tableware available in India. Today, this idea has found several admirers.

Lets’ find out how Rhea Singhal’s Journey inspire us:

Tell us something about yourself ?

 I grew up in Dubai and London and got married to a Delhiite. I studied Pharmacology from the University of Bristol and being at boarding school, in UK, taught me discipline and gave me a strong sense of independence. It taught me to be comfortable with who I am and not be scared to fight for what I stood for.

My background has always been brand building. I worked for 5 years with Pfizer Inc. in London as a senior marketing and sales executive which taught me to be business determined and I definitely learnt more on the job than any other text book. It shaped me, made me more focused and driven, taught me that the only thing constant was a change, and the best I could do is concentrate on what I could control and just get on with what I had to do.

How was EcoWARE Conceptualized?
