About Miki Agrawal:
“I started off working in Investment Banking when I graduated from Cornell University. 9/11 happened just a few days after I moved to New York, I was supposed to be at the World Trade Center that day but it was the first time in my life that I slept through my alarm clock. That was sort of my wake up call. I played professional soccer for a couple of years; I worked in the film business and worked my way up in production. I had my first stomach ache when I decided to start my first business which was a gluten free farm-to-table pizza concept in New York City. My newest project is called THINX which is a women’s empowerment apparel company that provides a sustainable underwear solution for women to wear doing their time of the month.
When you are in college entrepreneurship is really not something that you study and there wasn’t an entrepreneurship course. And so I began to read books by entrepreneurs and walked away so inspired but with so many questions. I wanted to find a book that I could read and one that gave me the step by step system to go from step zero to step one in business and life.” – Miki Agrawal
