07 Dec Profile of Shilpa Yarlagadda in the FT/How To Spend It

Posted at 16:10h in Uncategorized by Rima Suqi

Aged just 24, Shilpa Yarlagadda has a resumé and an address book that most take decades to accrue. Four years ago, sitting in her Harvard dorm room, she co-founded , a jewellery company with a single product – the Duet Pinky Ring. A spiral design with two stones – representing a “pinky promise” for women to support one another – it was worn by Emma Watson, Nicole Kidman and Shailene Woodley on various red carpets before Shiffon even had a proper website. Better yet, it gives 50 per cent of its proceeds to female-led startups via its non-profit venture capital foundation, Startup Girl. Since then, many more names including Michelle Obama, Cynthia Erivo, Serena Williams and, most recently, the Duchess of Sussex on the cover of Time magazine’s “100 Most Influential People” have been seen with the Duet too.  Read the entire piece about this truly amazing young person here.
