Her journey is noteworthy because she is more passionate about the commodity she sells than making profits. She believes that the underwear industry has been sexist towards women and, therefore, she has made it her duty to sell underwear to women that are empowering, not just functional. Miki Agrawal invested $30,000 of her savings in her first company Tushy, based out of New York City, and later moved to Manhattan Beach in LA.
Be grateful for everything you have, but never be satisfied. There’s always room to grow, to learn, and to improve.

Her first book, “Lab Girl,” which was named one of Amazon’s Best Books of 2016, is a memoir about her lab work and also how she was able to balance a business and family. Her lab work is fundamental research on soft tissue. She excelled in high school, founded her first company at age 16, and sold it to a large multinational company. She also became part of the Federal Reserve’s panel for women entrepreneurs.
Miki Agrawal says her goal is to make women proud of their bodies and feel sexy again. She said that she had spent many years working with women who had been stripped of their femininity. But Miki’s journey from when she finished college has been nothing short of amazing.
The success of Miki’s first company, Tushy, could be attributed to the fact that it came up when American society was more interested in discussing the female reproductive system. This was due to the increased popularity of feminism in the United States and greater awareness of gender equality issues.
Miki Agrawal is an excellent example of how to become an entrepreneur early on. But despite such remarkable achievement, Miki continues to work with those marginalized from society rather than focusing on making profits for herself and her family members. Women like Miki will continue to lead the way regarding social justice and equality.
