About this listen
This week on Planet Forward with Preetha, I am honored to host Zubaida Bai, an extraordinary leader who has dedicated her life to advancing global health, empowering women, and driving social impact. From her roots as a mechanical engineer in India to becoming a globally recognized social entrepreneur, Zubaida has reshaped the landscape of women’s health and rights through her transformative work.
As the founder of ayzh, Zubaida developed low-cost, life-saving technologies to address women’s reproductive health needs, profoundly impacting maternal health worldwide. Now, as the CEO of the Grameen Foundation, she leads initiatives that intersect gender, financial inclusion, and climate resilience, empowering women across Asia, Africa, and Latin America.
Zubaida’s inspiring journey has earned her recognition as a World Economic Forum Young Global Leader, Echoing Green Fellow, and Ashoka Maternal Health Champion. Join us as she shares her story, her passion for driving systemic change, and her vision for creating equitable access to healthcare and opportunities for women globally.
