Bold, Bright, and Unapologetic: How Shark Tank Star Pinq Polka Uses Packaging to Shatter Taboos

What happens when a single mother, a three-year-old daughter, and a market full of shame decide enough is enough? You get Pinq Polka, the Shark Tank star that is not just selling sanitary pads, but flipping the entire femcare narrative in India.

In this unapologetically honest conversation, we go beyond Shark Tank soundbites and deep into the strategy:

How do you build rejection-proof branding in a taboo category?

What happens when you actually call every customer who abandons their cart?

Why is packaging now more powerful than any pitch deck?

And most importantly, how do you turn repeat pain points into category-creating products?
