WOMEN’S HEALTH ISN’T A LUXURY, IT’S INFRASTRUCTURE // What happens when you’ve been gaslit by the medical system for 10 years? This is what I explore in my conversation with Eshani Kaushal, ex corporate and tech lawyer turned entrepreneur, and the founder of Moodee, the GCC’s first period care and hormone health platform, on this week’s episode of Period Story.
In this episode, Eshani shares:
- Why it took her over 10 years after being diagnosed with fibroids to have them properly dealt with
- What happened after she had emergency surgery to remove a 12 centimetre fibroid
- How a PCOS diagnosis increased her health anxiety
- How the idea for Moodee emerged and the leap of faith it took her to leave her corporate career
- What it’s like to run a femtech business in the UAE
- Why she thinks women’s health isn’t a luxury, but rather infrastructure that helps economies thrive
- How Moodee will bring access to clean, non-toxic science backed health and menstrual products for women across all ages and stages in the Middle East
- And of course, the story of her first period
Eshani says that women’s health isn’t a niche when we’re 50% of the world’s population. She says that when you fund women’s health, you enable women to do business
Thank you, Eshani!
