The face behind Chomcharm- Phawinee Larque
What’s your story?
I would describe myself, first and foremost, as a proud mother of two beautiful girls. My journey with Chomcharm is driven by my passion for infusing joy into people’s lives through exquisite artisan-made kaolin ceramics. This mission is deeply inspired by the experiences and joys of motherhood, which add a layer of inspiration to everything I do.
How & Why did you start your company/passion work?
My journey with Chomcharm began during my travels around the world when I discovered the unique beauty of kaolin ceramics. This moment was a crossroads for me as I realized that these exquisite pieces, beloved in Europe for their timeless elegance and craftsmanship, had the potential to captivate discerning customers in Singapore. The desire to share this unique beauty and enduring charm with my wonderful friends in Singapore fueled the creation of Chomcharm.
How do you bring BALANCE to your roles as MOTHER: FOUNDER: SELF?
Balancing the roles of a mother-founder and personal well-being can be a juggling act. I prioritize by setting boundaries and creating a structured schedule that allows me to allocate dedicated time for both my business and my family. It’s important to find moments for self-care to stay energized and focused.
Any recent accomplishment you would like to share with us? (personal/professional)
One of our recent professional accomplishments is the successful launch of our website, where we offer our customers a curated selection of artisan-made ceramics and driftwood home decor. Additionally, we’ve had the privilege of participating in esteemed events like Design Fair Asia, where we showcased our exquisite creations to a wider audience, receiving positive feedback and building valuable connections.
What would you like to say to fellow mothers or women thinking of starting a business?
To all the mothers and women contemplating starting a business, I would say this: Believe in yourself and your vision. Embrace the unique qualities and experiences that make you who you are, as they will be your greatest assets on this journey. Don’t be afraid to seek support and advice from mentors, and never underestimate the power of resilience and determination.

The face behind HaldyPlus Nutrition Pte. Ltd. – Push Sharma!
What’s your story?
Hi ! I’m Push Sharma and I am the founder & CEO of Haldy. I am a graduate from Columbia University, USA and have lived and worked across 5 countries besides India – where I am originally from. Turmeric is a superfood well known for its host of health benefits, so I wanted to find a way to include Turmeric in my daily routine. But the challenge is that to eat Turmeric in a pill, powder or even a drink form is neither tasty nor convenient. To be honest, it can feel medicinal and it’s hard to build a routine around. So, my goal was to take something that we all routinely eat (i.e Breath Mints) and make a “Better For You” version of the same by adding Turmeric to it, but without any aftertaste of Turmeric. From that vision, the concept of HALDY was born. Haldy Sugarfree Turmeric Mints are a Tasty, Refreshing and Convenient way to Add the Golden Goodness of Turmeric and Boost Your Daily Routine. They come in a premium, beautifully designed, recyclable ‘Patented’ packaging that is sleek and chic. It is smaller than a credit card, which makes it compact, but still fits ~40mints per pack. This happens to be the WORLD’S FIRST of its kind of breath-mints formulation infused with curcumin extract, that is manufactured in a F.D.A. and B.R.C.G.S. certified facility. The ‘X-Factor’ in Haldy is the Curcumin extract. (i.e principal Bioactive substance in Turmeric) – which makes it a ‘Better For You’ choice versus other commercial mints that are available in the market. To be clear though, while the Therapeutic benefits of Turmeric are well documented, with Haldy, we have steered clear of making Therapeutic claims. Our primary purpose is to provide Freshness of breath, in a Convenient way. Our consumers can enjoy Haldy the same way they would their regular mints, knowing that the curcumin extract makes Haldy a ‘Better’ choice. Details of our nutritional information and Ingredients are mentioned on our recyclable PET packaging label. Haldy is a proudly home-grown Singaporean brand. The unique multi-cultural landscape of Singapore offers rich inspiration for innovation. We are very proud to have worked with local talent for the strategy, design and art direction to bring Haldy to life. I welcome you all to Discover Haldy Living ! and to Boost your Daily Routine.
How & Why did you start your company/passion work?
I started HaldyPlus Nutrition Pte Ltd. in June 2021 in Singapore, in the middle of Covid-19 and I launched ‘Haldy’, on 1st February 2023. It took me 18 months of multiple rounds of consumer trails, product formulation, testing etc. before I could launch the brand. In addition to that, with all the travel restrictions that came due to Covid-19, made it extremely difficult to launch. The consumer insights reaffirmed my belief; ie. to include Turmeric as a part of my daily routine, in a tasty, refreshing and convenient way. I wanted to connect with the consumer by means of story telling. Hence the blend of ancient Ayurveda in a modern format was appealing. I also didn’t want to introduce yet another mint brand but something that offers consumers a lot more. Consumers have been consuming Turmeric in various forms which have been difficult to build a routine around. Turmeric (Cookies, Power, Pill, Capsule, Latte, Gummies) etc. are not only expensive, but are not easy to build a routine, due to the bulky packaging and thus not convenient to carry. Also, the taste of Turmeric can be polarising, thus I had to find a way to make it appealing to the mass market consumers. Given Singapore does not allow consumption of chewing gums, to launch a breath-mint was a perfect fit. The brand name Haldy is a mix of the word Haldi (aka Turmeric in Hindi language) and the word Healthy. Our logo h was inspired by the Turmeric leaf, our mnemonic device (Haldy Lady) was inspired by Indian Mural Art from Kerala with an Indo-Western influence, which gives the brand a modern yet earthy, organic look and feel. Thus with trendy eco-friendly packaging and delicious taste of the product it has been a win for all.
How do you bring BALANCE to your roles as MOTHER: FOUNDER: SELF?
I am a trailing spouse. My wife works in the corporate world as a Managing Director & VP APAC of a large listed American MNC. We have lived and worked in several countries such as Singapore, India, US, Mainland China including Hong Kong (SAR China). I started my first entrepreneurial venture in 2012, after i quit the corporate world to follow my dream. In the last 11 years, we have lived in 3 countries where we moved due to my wife’s job. It was tough, but I continued to find ways to learn and build my venture. Haldy is my third venture, the last two ventures allowed me to balance work and family while we moved around. I guess I also found balance by doing meditation, yoga and taking small but measured steps towards my overall health and wellness. I’m happy to say that to launch Haldy has been an amazing journey. In your entrepreneurial journey, family always comes first !
Any recent accomplishment you would like to share with us? (personal/professional)
On the professional front: It has been a dream run, since I launched Haldy on 1st February 2023. In April, we won the coveted SME500 Singapore award for 2023. In April 2023 was also invited to exhibit Haldy at ISM Cologne (Germany), which is the World’s Largest Trade Fair for Sweets and Snacks. In June 2023 we got nominated for the Startup of the Year 2023 by FIT Summit, Singapore as the youngest entrant in the category. Straits Times Singapore featured us twice, first in April then in May 2023. In August 2023 we were featured on the cover of one of the oldest manufacturing innovation magazine based in the US. I’m happy to announce that we have just won (September 2023) the prestigious MUSE Design Award 2023 USA, for our innovative packaging, which is a huge recognition for us internationally. Lastly, we have been shortlisted as a finalist for the coveted Gama Global Innovation Award 2023, UK. As you can see, exciting times for us as a young Singapore startup. On the personal front: My 12 year old (author) daughter has qualified for the World Scholars Cup 2023 at Yale University, USA where she will be representing her school and Singapore in November 2023. My wife just won the AmCham Equality Award for 2023, which was awarded to her by the Deputy Prime Minister of Singapore Mr. Lawrence Wong on 1st September at MBS and her book that she co-authored is an Amazon Best Seller.
What would you like to say to fellow mothers or women thinking of starting a business?
My advise for women/founders, would be : The sooner you start the better it is. Fail fast, but fall forward. Don’t overthink it and keep it simple at the same time. You will never get it right the first time so start small, be flexible, so you can pivot if required. Seek for advice and make sure you speak to as many people/advisors as you can to gain insights/feedback.
What are three words you would use to describe your experience of being a Mother/Founder ?
Hardworking. Positive. Solution Minded.

How & Why did you start your company/passion work?
I grew up in the busy bustling city of Bombay in India but I remember every summer holidays when we would go to visit both set of my grandparents in a small town in Gujarat, India. My paternal grandmother loved her small garden and she would always grow her own food like tomatoes, green chilies, mint, basil, and so much more. I would love to go to her garden and help her out. Find new flowers, new bugs, new plants. This experience is embedded in my memory so much that I can still smell the garden. My grandmother passed in 2016 and up until her last day I shared so many new and interesting natural materials that are now being used to make paper and other products. This helped me realise how passionate I feel about the nature, trees, and the love my grandma had for her garden. Working in this industry and educating younger kids about this industry is very important for me and comes very naturally to me. You may one day look back and see something in your journey that makes you proud to be stood where you are, you may already be in that place!
How do you bring BALANCE to your roles as MOTHER: FOUNDER: SELF?
A good 7-8 hours sleep is very important for self, kids and business. Im early to bed and early to rise kind of person. Get things ready for the kids to go to school and then start my day with a good dose of exercise. I play Badminton every weekday for 2 hours. Things to do list, goal setting, calendar blocking, reminders is key to make sure you have all the business related tasks and key dates covered. Same goes with the children’s dates in schools and other important information, events and cut off dates.
Any recent accomplishment you would like to share with us? (personal/professional)
My most recent achievement has been winning the bronze REBORN! Upcycling Design Award in September 2023 and being featured in the TMS magazine interview. https://themilsource.com/2023/08/19/polly-setunga-conscious-paper-in-hong-kong/
What would you like to say to fellow mothers or women thinking of starting a business?
Entrepreneurship is hard! Just to even get going and understand the flow, getting the direction right, it’s just so difficult. I am doing this all by myself at this moment, but I realized that investing in people, investing in a team, is extremely important to go through the various levels of entrepreneurship. Events like COVID and events like changing the mindset of the people in Hong Kong are very difficult, and they do take a toll on you. I find that being consistent is the key and pushing your mission and pushing your business. As long as it’s correct and as long as it’s true to yourself. That is what will push you through entrepreneurship and through the ups and downs.
What are three words you would use to describe your experience of being a Mother/Founder ?
Consistency, Patience ,Will power.

The face behind MISEICO | Sustainable Skincare & Wellness- Michelle Chan
What’s your story?
I am a lifelong learner, deeply passionate about and inspired by nature’s boundless wisdom. Like many women, I’ve navigated the transformative phases of perimenopause and menopause. In my search for answers to ease these life stages, I studied natural skincare formulation, exploring the ways nature can holistically and sustainably support our well-being. With a vision to redefine ageing as a chapter of empowerment and self-love rather than a period of decline, MISEICO was born. More than just products, MISEICO offers sustainable skincare and wellness solutions that are a testament to the belief that age mirrors wisdom, experience, and the beauty of evolution. We champion each individual’s journey, encouraging them to embrace life’s stages with grace, confidence, and a commitment to holistic well-being.
How & Why did you start your company/passion work?
Starting a business is both challenging and rewarding: 1. Trust Your Instincts: Your intuition, honed by your experiences as a woman and possibly a mother, is a powerful tool. Use it to guide your decisions and understand your target audience better. 2. Embrace the Journey: There will be ups and downs, but each challenge presents an opportunity for growth and learning. Celebrate your successes, big or small, and learn from the setbacks. 3. Seek Support: Surround yourself with a strong support system, be it family, friends, or like-minded entrepreneurs. Remember, asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness. 4. Balance & Boundaries: It’s essential to set boundaries and prioritise self-care. While passion and determination are vital, so is taking time for yourself and your loved ones. 5. Stay Authentic: Your authenticity will resonate with your audience and set you apart in the marketplace. Stay true to your values and mission.
How do you bring BALANCE to your roles as MOTHER: FOUNDER: SELF?
Balancing the roles of MOTHER:FOUNDER:SELF requires intention, flexibility, and self-awareness. Here’s how I approach it: 1. Prioritize Self-Care: This is foundational. By ensuring I recharge mentally, emotionally, and physically, I can give my best to both my family and my business. Whether it’s a short workout or just some quiet reading time, I make it a point to carve out moments for myself. 2. Time Blocking: Designating specific chunks of time for work, family, and personal pursuits helps create clear boundaries. For instance, setting ‘office hours’ for work and specific quality time for my children ensures that each role receives dedicated attention. 3. Seek Support: I lean on my support system—be it family, friends, or team members—to help manage tasks, provide emotional support, or simply lend a listening ear. 4. Reflect and Adjust: Every week, I reflect on what went well and what didn’t. This helps me adjust my strategies and ensures that no role overshadows the others for an extended period.
Any recent accomplishment you would like to share with us? (personal/professional)
On the professional front, MISEICO recently launched our Aromatherapy Elixirs, a line crafted to support those navigating the challenges of perimenopause and menopause. The response has been overwhelmingly positive, reinforcing our mission to offer sustainable skincare and wellness solutions and to champion a holistic approach to well-being. On a personal note, I recently completed a mindset course, which not only advanced my personal development but also equipped me with tools to integrate a growth mindset into MISEICO’s brand ethos and product experience. Both of these accomplishments underscore my commitment to continuous learning and growth, both for the benefit of MISEICO’s community and for my personal journey.

The face behind Kiddo Trip- Severine Male
What’s your story?
I’m a mother of 2 lively boys. I love traveling, and I lived in 5 countries across the world.
How & Why did you start your company/passion work?
I fell in love with Singapore when I arrived, and every weekend I would bring my husband and kids to visit new places. That’s how I started creating engaging activities for them to play during the visits.
How do you bring BALANCE to your roles as MOTHER: FOUNDER: SELF?
Finding a balance is always challenging, but starting your own business will give you the flexibility to play both roles.
What would you like to say to fellow mothers or women thinking of starting a business?
If you are passionate, go for it! Getting results and making it work will be challenging, so you need to be passionate about what you do to survive the entrepreneurship journey.

The face behind The Eco-Statement- Sangeetha Nair
What’s your story?
I have a deep interest in the field of sustainable urban living. I am the founder of The Eco-Statement (www.theecostatement.com) and the creator of Singapore’s 1st Eco Board Game and Card Game). I created the games to bring fun and engagement for children as they learn about sustainability and sustainable living (these are big words and concepts for our little ones to understand!). I hope that learning through play nurtures in children the love for our world; trusting that they will look after what they love.
How & Why did you start your company/passion work?
As an Educator, I have been talking and teaching about Sustainability issues, Sustainable Development. Through the journey the question that keeps coming to me is: How can we equip our future generation to face Sustainability related risks & challenges? How can we cultivate the values & mindset of Sustainable Living? Establishing aspects of Sustainable Living as part of everyone’s day-to-day existence through fun and activities eventually became a solution that should empower everyone to create their own ‘Eco-Statement’. I hope that learning through play nurtures in children the love for our world; trusting that they will look after what they love.
How do you bring BALANCE to your roles as MOTHER: FOUNDER: SELF?
Juggle like a pro! Prioritize, delegate, flex, and remember to sneak in some “me time” for sanity’s sake.

The face behind Shirt by Hand Singapore- Sharon Jacotine!
What’s your story?
I’m a mum to two girls, 17 and 13. I have just embarked on a venture here in Singapore selling tailor-made men’s business shirts. It’s a Singapore franchise called Shirt by Hand with the parent company in the Netherlands. I do the measuring and orders are placed through the website.
I love keeping busy and have had a few part-time roles in Singapore from baking to selling furniture. I deviated quite a bit from my career in IT many moons ago and have really enjoyed being able to focus on other areas of interest.
The opportunity to establish the Singapore entity of Shirt by Hand came through a friend and I was ready to take on the challenge with me being my own boss.
How & Why did you start your company/passion work?
I had just finished a job and a friend asked if I would like to manage a business in Singapore. I felt that I was ready for the challenge! I guess you always have doubts but never know until you try it!
What would you like to say to fellow mothers or women thinking of starting a business?
Give it a go, you always find the strength in you once you start. Nothing is impossible and you deal with each hurdle as it comes.
