Working to support these people and connect them to the incredible female doctors in the region is DoctHERS; a digital health platform matching underutilized female doctors to the unmet health needs. Host Dhruti Shah speaks with DoctHERS co-founder Säbeen Fatima Haque about her incredible work so far, and plans to develop in the future.

    In this episode we are going global! We’re focusing on a company using tech for good, to level the playing field in over 70 countries for local creators. Did you know that while the World Economic Forum forecasts that the handmade and small-batch sector will reach $1 trillion by 2024, the sector has historically lacked investment, digitisation and access to global markets? Working to fix this is Powered by People, a wholesale marketplace for conscious buyers, enabling small-batch makers to reach global markets. Joining host Dhruti Shah is Hedvig Alexander - VP of Community & Impact and Founder of Powered by People.
