Anika Parashar, Founder & CEO of The Woman's Company is a powerhouse of a woman, and a name that is synonymous with several brands focused on women's care and health. Her work over two decades has been highly respected and given credit through a well-deserved feature in the 3rd Edition of 50 Women of Pure Wonder in India and The Pride of India Award.
Having grown up across the globe, Anika was exposed to cultures in Hong Kong, Canada, the U.K, and India. She kicked off her professional career in India at Mahindra Retail in 2008 when she relocated from London, setting up Mom & Me stores, and centers for expecting and new mother's as part of their complete offering of both products and services. With investment from Fortis Healthcare, she founded Mamma Mia in 2011- India's first and only comprehensive holistic health chain spanning across the nation. Mamma Mia, provides information, fitness and wellness solutions for women who are trying to conceive children, expecting or new mothers, all under one roof. She moved into the role COO of Fortis La Femme in 2015, where she led the team to successfully expand the brand from One to Four hospitals across the country, finally approaching healthcare in a more whole manner, encompassing solutions for all women's healthcare needs beyond just Obstetrics.
Anika's entrepreneurial ventures have stemmed from the gap she recognised through her own personal struggles and experiences. When faced with the challenge of finding a donor heart for her mother, Anika realised the need for a dependable, organised system that Indian families could rely on, to support them and help out their ailing loved ones. ORGAN India - Organ Giving and Receiving Awareness Network, was born in 2013 and focuses on spreading awareness about Organ Donation and Transplant across India. In addition to spreading awareness, and offering support through a helpline and an online guide, the organization works very closely with the Health Ministry and even represented India in the World Transplant Games of 2021.
The Woman's Company was inspired by Anika's search for biodegradable and organic period products for her daughter Inayat. On a fair amount of research, none of the players in the market ticked all the boxes. With increasing rates of cancer, PCOS, Endometriosis amongst other lifestyle diseases, the need for chemical free products became crucial. Add to that the planet in crisis due products that do not decompose, the need to make impact with a solution for Women's Health and the planet became evident. With her Co Founder Roopam Gupta, Anika founded The Woman's Company in 2020 as an ideology with the sole aim to create a world where women's health and well-being matters. The brand has innovated with eco-conscious products MADE in INDIA such as a Teen Pad, a fully biodegradable Urination Device amongst several others.

She has worked with reputable organizations such as Mahindra & Mahindra, The National Childbirth Trust, BSKYB, Channel 4 and Old World Hospitality, amongst others. Her aim is to continue sharing her professional and personal experiences, and inspire those around her, especially women, to live authentic lives and discover the limitless power within themselves.
