Miki Agrawal, the trailblazing Brooklyn-based entrepreneur and thought leader known for founding two $100 million companies that put her on the cover of Entrepreneur magazine - TUSHY and THINX - joins HeadRoom. Check out some of her past coverage and watch her 2019 Mindvalley Talk.
Miki's journey in the world of entrepreneurship saw both great successes and major challenges. Having risen to prominence, she found herself in the center of a media storm tied to allegations of sexual misconduct by a former employee amidst the Harvey Weinstein scandal. Despite the allegations ultimately being dismissed by both the NY Supreme Court and the New York Arbitration Association, the damage to her reputation led to her stepping down from the very company she built from the ground up.
Now, for the first time, Miki is ready to share her side of this story, drawing on the lessons learned and the strength gained from this experience. In addition, Miki has just released her debut album, a soulful music release inspired by her recent divorce. This chapter of her life, she believes, parallels her experience at THINX - both instances spotlighting the multifaceted textures of life and love and the reality that they can exist simultaneously. She views these experiences not as setbacks but as opportunities for growth and transformation.
Miki's journey, being half Japanese and half Indian, growing up in French Montreal Canada, and now living in Austin, Texas, embodies a rich blend of cultural influences. Her resilience and pursuit of truth echo the spirit of her father, who arrived in America from India with only $5 to his name.
