Meet Gita Vellanki of Neeshi

Today we’d like to introduce you to Gita Vellanki.

Hi Gita, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
My journey started as a very personal one: to help my daughter with her heavy & painful periods without the need for prescription medicine. Rooted in the principles of natural food healing and Ayurveda, I began baking daily treats to assist in balancing her hormones. Seeing the amazing benefits we both have experienced, I have invited many other women experiencing period woes to do a trial of our products. Given the fantastic feedback, I launched Neeshi to free women from the burden of their menstrual cycle. No one should have a heavy period stand in their way.

We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
Our biggest challenge is awareness. Neeshi foods are the only macro and micronutrient-balanced foods on the market to support hormonal balance; resulting in reduced menstrual flow, cramps, PMS and hair loss. Given this new market we have created, brand awareness is critical to growth.

We’ve been impressed with Neeshi, but for folks who might not be as familiar, what can you share with them about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
Neeshi (www.neeshi.com); a woman-owned, all-natural treats company that was designed to normalize period struggles and allow women to feel better through principles of natural food healing and Ayurveda. My proudest moment is when my oldest daughter, Anjali, attends pop-up events. Potential customers love to hear her story. She will explain how Neeshi has benefited her – how she spends all weekend at basketball tournaments and her period never stands in her way anymore. Anjali will look at the customer and me and say, “My Mom did this!” It’s an amazing feeling every time! These great moments, along with all of my customers who have shared their stories about how Neeshi has greatly benefited their lives (many have told me they never imagined they could feel this good), are everything I need to continue to expand and share the Neeshi benefits.

Inspired by my girls, Neeshi is a very personal brand, defining who I am (mom, problem solver, caregiver) and a product of my culture; resolving my daughter’s heavy periods, painful cramps and PMS with all-natural tasty treats.

How do you think about happiness?
Suffering through painful, long and heavy periods for so many years, I am happy I can help other girls and women feel better all month long. When your period struggles stop you in your tracks and pause productivity, having to reset 4-5-8 days later is so difficult. My customers are now able to continue moving forward every day without their period standing in their way.
