“We literally never studied women, no wonder we don’t understand female health.” — Priyanka Jain
After years of helping women decode their hormones, we’ve learned something simple but profound: data matters, yet behind every data point is a story.
For many women, looking in the mirror means confronting expectations, doubts, or symptoms they’ve been told to ignore. Real change begins when we stop accepting those limits, when we start asking why.
Mirror Talks is a space for those stories. It’s where we meet women who’ve turned confusion into clarity, and pain into purpose. Founders, scientists, and visionaries who are challenging how the world sees women’s health and how women see themselves.
In this episode, we meet Priyanka Jain, co-founder and CEO of Evvy, whose journey from teenage activism to leading a healthtech company redefines what it means to build something for women, by women.

✨ From Activism to Innovation: How Priyanka Is Closing the Gender Health Gap
Before founding Evvy, Priyanka Jain was already fighting for women’s equality; from helping build schools for girls through the UN’s Girl Up campaign to studying how technology drives social change at Stanford.
Her path took a turn when her own health frustrations exposed a deeper truth: for decades, women were left out of medical research, creating a massive gap in knowledge about the female body.
In our second episode of Mirror Talks, Priyanka shares how that realization pushed her to leave her career in tech and build Evvy, the first at-home vaginal microbiome test using metagenomic sequencing. She also talks about how she’s breaking taboos, redefining women’s care, and turning data into empowerment for millions.
