In this episode of Designed By, host Joanna Peña-Bickley sits down with Raina Kumra Gardiner, a visionary at the intersection of tech, ethics, and design. As the CEO & Founder of Spicewell, Raina is transforming our relationship with food, and her work at Juggernaut is redefining digital transformation. Grounded in the principles of Ayurveda, her journey from design tech guru to functional foods innovator is nothing short of inspiring.
Raina’s influence spans from advocating for ethical tech with EthicalOS to shaping tech strategy for US Global Media and transforming digital landscapes for iconic brands. As an advisor to Google X and a speaker on ethical AI, she continuously challenges the norm.
But her story goes beyond professional achievements; it’s deeply personal. After a family health crisis, Raina turned to Ayurveda and the healing power of food, channeling ancestral wisdom into Spicewell. Her vision? A world where our food serves as medicine, starting with reimagined salt and pepper. She’s not just changing how we season our meals; she’s igniting a movement towards healthier living, one meal at a time.
Join us for a conversation filled with inspiration, innovation, and Ayurvedic insights that promise to transform your perspective on health and technology. #DesignedBy #Ayurveda #EthicalTech #Innovation #RainaKumraGardiner #Spicewell
