Know Your Facilitator
Rhea Mazumder Singhal has traversed a path of purpose and passion. Her story reminds us that grit, passion, and an unwavering commitment to making a positive impact can help us overcome even the steepest of challenges.
Rhea is the founder & CEO of India’s first and largest environmentally sustainable packaging company. She is also a World Economic Forum ‘Young Global Leader,’ and was honored with the Nari Shakti Puraskar in 2019, which is the highest civilian honor for women in India.
Her exposure to the business world started within Pfizer’s Oncology team in the UK. After several years of successful handling commercial responsibilities at Pfizer, she returned to India and started Ecoware in 2010. The ever-growing menace of plastic waste in the country pushed her to take up the entrepreneurial journey. She wanted to come up with environment-friendly biodegradable food packages for everyday use, and the result was Ecoware. Ecoware products are 100% natural (agricultural waste) and compostable.
Rhea’s entrepreneurial journey was riddled with challenges. Not only did she have to navigate the intricacies of establishing a consumer business, she also faced the stigma associated with being a female business entrepreneur and a non-native speaker. Her journey involved persuading generational traders across India to sell a product they had never seen before, which meant jeopardizing their revenue. However, one of Rhea’s most notable triumphs came in the form of securing a monumental partnership with the Indian Railways, the largest food service operator in India, and convincing them to adopt Ecoware packaging.
Rhea has been featured in various publications, including Forbes, Hindustan Times, Economic Times, India Today, and CNBC. She is widely recognized for her profound impact on diverse forums and collaborations with renowned organizations like Salesforce, Samsung, FedEx, Accenture and UNEP, amongst others. As a thought leader in ESG and sustainable business practices, Rhea continues inspiring future leaders for a cleaner and greener world.
