Newmi, a couplepreneur startup Co-founded by Sanchit Agarwal and Aditi Mittal, is 8-9 months old. Sanchit has a vast experience of 20+ years in the corporate world while Aditi is an ex-Fashion Designer.
It was during the time when Sanchit met with an accident, he promised himself that if he gets a chance, will do something more impactful in life. This incident along with seeing the health journey of his wife Aditi, who is a two-time cancer conqueror, triggered him to think about Why we don’t prioritize women’s health, which actually needs very serious consideration. Thus, with this inspiration, Newmi was born to prioritize women’s health life cycle.
