Ruby Raut
CEO & Co-Founder, WUKA
Ruby Raut is a Nepalese entrepreneur and co-founder of WUKA, a sustainable period-wear brand with the mission to make periods better. As an environmental scientist, Ruby was inspired to create WUKA after realising the negative environmental impact of disposable menstrual products and her own experience of menstrual inequity growing up in Nepal. Under her leadership, WUKA has grown into a leading brand in the menstrual health category available in over 30 countries, with customers collectively preventing more than 200 million disposables from going to landfill through the sustainable switch to WUKA.

She has been recognised for her work with numerous awards, including the Queens Award for Sustainability 2022 and the Starling Great British Entrepreneur of the Year Award in 2022 for Sustainability and her period underwear designs have gained hundreds of design and lifestyle awards
