A Forbes 25 Under 25 honoree, Priya has built her company at the intersection of deep science, social impact, and a market most founders never think to enter.Priya walks through what it has taken to build Operation Period from the ground up, the early conversations with investors, the relationships that have shaped how she leads, and the way she develops and mobilizes data inside her company.
