2. Taapsee Pannu’s Laiqa
The Bollywood star turns co-founder and chief innovation officer of menstrual hygiene brand, Laiqa. The actor aims to draw from her own experiences and make periods a healthy and hygienic experience for women through its chemical-free products. “I’ve grown up in households where the majority are women, and yet periods are considered taboo. I have gone through so many issues related to my periods, which in turn affected my body, and yet I thought it was normal because I didn’t know any better. Today I have the power and platform to make a difference, and what better way to use it than associating with a brand that believes in the same,” she shared with us.

4. Malaika Arora’s Nude Bowls
It came as no surprise when the OG Bollywood fitness enthusiast launched a brand that focuses on healthy eating. The delivery-only service is called NUDE Bowls with NUDE standing for Nutritious Undisguised Delicious Eats. “Being a foodie, I love to eat. While the occasional binge on desserts and greasy food does entice me, I usually prefer wholesome food that makes me feel good and keeps me going through the day. A meal as simple as a crunchy salad or a warm curry rice bowl can do the trick too, as long as it’s tasty and enjoyable,” Malaika had shared on Instagram. The star is also actively involved in planning the menu and ensuring sustainable packaging.

5. Kendall Jenner’s 818 Tequila
The supermodel and Keeping Up With The Kardashians star launched her own tequila brand earlier this year. However, she was accused by the Mexican and Latin community (as the alcohol is only produced inside the Mexican state of Jalisco) of cultural appropriation and criticised for exploitation of its workers as soon as she announced it. Following the backlash, she cleared that her brand’s goal was to be “something that was approachable, aesthetically pleasing, socially aware, gender-neutral and friendly to the planet” on Jimmy Fallon’s show. In an effort to give back to the community of Jalisco, her team found a way to take the agave waste — the agave fibers and the water waste — and convert it into sustainable brick, which is being donated to build homes for people in need.
