Early this September, I boarded a four-hour flight to the city of Bangalore (or Bengaluru) in India, to attend the Marriott x TED Salon's newest panel within Asia-Pacific, called <strong>\u2018Women in Innovation\u2019.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p> <p>It couldn't have been a better-curated panel of speakers: there was <strong style=\"font-weight: 400\">Zubaida Bai<\/strong> from India (founder of 'ayzh' and women's health advocate); <strong style=\"font-weight: 400\">Asha<\/strong>\u00a0<strong style=\"font-weight: 400\">De<\/strong>\u00a0<strong style=\"font-weight: 400\">Vos<\/strong> from Sri Lanka (marine biologist pioneering blue whale research in the North Indian Ocean); and <strong style=\"font-weight: 400\">Trang<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>Tran<\/strong> from Vietnam (social entrepreneur and founder of Fargreen). <\/p> <p>Different fields of interest; different women hailing from different corners of APAC; <em>very<\/em> stimulating discussions.\u00a0<\/p> <p>Held at the Bengaluru Marriott Hotel Whitefield, this marks the second year of Marriott\u2019s partnership with TED.\u00a0Previous editions include their APAC series last year in Bangkok, with upcoming similar TED Salons in Vancouver, Boston, Cairo, and Athens this year. And\u00a0Bangalore, often touted as the Silicon Valley of India and the hub of innovation and progressive ideas in the country, was certainly the ripe place for this discussion. <\/p> <h1> <span><strong>CHATTING WITH TED FELLOW ZUBAIDA BAI, FOUNDER OF AYZH<\/strong><\/span> <\/h1> <p><span style=\"display: block;\" class=\"wrap-img\" id=\"wrap-img-325675\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-325675 img-responsive  size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mariefranceasia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2018\/10\/20180906-marriot-highlights-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"4928\" height=\"3280\" \/><\/span><\/p> <p>I got the opportunity to speak with Zubaida Bai, founder and CEO of ayzh\u00a0(pronounced \"eyes\"), a social enterprise that designs products to improve women's health across their reproductive lives.<\/p> <p>Zubaida is a testimony to how having women at the helm of organisations influencing women's health can translate to effective results. And\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ayzh.com\">Ayzh\u00a0<\/a>is the perfect illustration of how the simplest ideas are sometimes the most potent.<\/p> <p>Her flagship product at ayzh was 'janma', a Clean Birth Kit which costs USD3, that comes designed in pink biodegradable jute bag - which the mothers can, and often do, reuse as a purse. Since first launching in 2012, ayzh\u00a0has now expanded their products to include kits addressing needs for newborn health, postpartum health, and menstrual health, and expanded across India and also Africa.<\/p> <p><strong>I remember first learning about you and your work, through your flagship product 'janma', the clean birth kit. And I thought: what a simple, but effective idea. Talk us through that \u2018a-ha\u2019 moment that led to the birth of, well, your birth kit.<\/strong><\/p> <p>I was travelling and meeting women\u2019s health organisations and randomly met a midwife through the trip, who was using agricultural tools to give birth to babies. I think that was pretty much my \u2018a-ha\u2019 moment - I don\u2019t think I\u2019d decided until months after with what I had wanted to do with what I had seen. I just that I knew I had wanted to do something about what I\u2019d seen. But it was basically a moment where I just knew something was wrong with the system, and it needed to be fixed.<\/p> <p><strong>Slightly off-topic - but is there a meaning behind \u2018ayzh\u2019?<\/strong><\/p> <p>It\u2019s basically a play on eyes - which is a way to look at women\u2019s health differently. But it also stands for the names of my family members - my sons\u2019, my husband\u2019s and mine. And I think it was just serendipity that we could fit everything in (laughs).<\/p> <p><span style=\"display: block;\" class=\"wrap-img\" id=\"wrap-img-325673\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-325673 img-responsive  size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mariefranceasia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2018\/10\/zubaida-bai_azyh-birth-kit.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2002\" height=\"1127\" \/><\/span><\/p> <p><strong>Given what you'd shared about the birthing practices in India's rural communities, was it challenging introducing 'janma' to the average Indian woman living in rural India?<\/strong><\/p> <p>It was definitely a challenge, I have to say. We wanted to sell the product to women - but the two biggest challenges for us was that firstly, the women had no perception of what we\u2019re talking about. And secondly, when we took the product to the healthcare facilities, the doctors weren't familiar with the products and therefore did not want to use it.\u00a0We had to change our strategy quickly and start selling our products to gynaecologists and to the medical sector instead, because only then the products would get used.<\/p> <p><strong>Has that changed since?<\/strong><\/p> <p>A few years into it, once the product had entered the market, we started creating a bottom-up approach where we began educating the women around about the birth kit\u2026 and it wasn\u2019t just not just about our product, but about educating the women about what they needed when they enter their labour wards and what the protocols are when it comes to childbirth. I wouldn\u2019t say we are anywhere near successful yet with this, but it\u2019s slow and steady work\u2026 and as long as we\u2019re moving, we\u2019re doing fine. <\/p> <p><span style=\"display: block;\" class=\"wrap-img\" id=\"wrap-img-325726\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-325726 img-responsive  size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mariefranceasia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2018\/10\/ayzh2-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" \/><\/span><\/p>  <p><strong>Following the birth kit, you\u2019ve launched <em>shishu<\/em> (the newborn kit), <em>kanya<\/em> (menstrual and hygiene kits), among others. What\u2019s next on the pipeline for ayzh?<\/strong><\/p> <p>Definitely the family planning and menopause kits\u2026 but we\u2019re still figuring the landscape for postpartum hygiene at the moment. It\u2019s not been as easy as we\u2019d thought it\u2019d be, but once we have that figured out in the next year, family planning is next on the pipeline. <\/p> <p><span style=\"display: block;\" class=\"wrap-img\" id=\"wrap-img-325729\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-325729 img-responsive  size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mariefranceasia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2018\/10\/ayzh3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1152\" \/><\/span><\/p> <p><strong>Which city did you first introduce the kit to?\u00a0 And where are your products now available globally?<\/strong><\/p> <p>We first introduced the kit in Chennai, which is where I\u2019m from, so that\u2019s where we started. So we\u2019ve sent our products to 14 countries in the last 7 years. Our operational offices are in India, we have our headquarters in the U.S. and as we speak we are setting up an office in East Africa in Nairobi as well. We export a lot to African countries, so it\u2019s about time. \u00a0<\/p> <p><strong>What do you hope to see change for women in India and globally?<\/strong><\/p> <p>For me, women taking charge of their own health is a change I want to see globally. And I don\u2019t think it\u2019s an issue that only exists in the developing world, it\u2019s very much an issue in developed countries. All I hope to see is that people don\u2019t look at women\u2019s health as a topic that is ignored, but one that is part of your everyday conversation.\u00a0The next thing I\u2019d like to see is more entrepreneurship more women stepping up to their potential; specifically, women who are mothers.<\/p> <p><strong>Any advice for aspiring social entrepreneurs?<\/strong><\/p> <p>My advice to other social entrepreneurs I meet is this: it's about how you define success. If you fail, that's fine - failure is really a stepping stone to everything.\u00a0The mere fact that you saw an issue that needs addressing and took the steps to solve it is great. For me, I took an issue (maternal health) that I deeply believed in and worked on it... if my business fails tomorrow, it's fine because at least I can say I did something about it.\u00a0<\/p>  <p><em>Marriott Hotels, in partnership for its second-year with TED, hosted an exclusive <a href=\"http:\/\/news.marriott.com\/2018\/09\/marriott-hotels-and-ted-deliver-inspiring-women-in-innovation-salon-that-sparks-new-perspectives-across-asia-pacific\/\">'Women in Innovation' talk in Bengaluru, India on September 6<\/a> at the Bengaluru Marriott Whitefield.
