WhereRootsRunDeep:TheMakingofaPlant
Anu'schildhoodwasnottypicalbymodernstandards.

“The most powerful moment in my career wasn't winning an award. It was realizing that I could bridge two worlds, my grandmother's forest remedies and modern cosmetic chemistry, without sacrificing either.”
Thoseformativeyearscreatedsomethingremarkable:a mindcomfortableholdingbothmysticismand methodology,intuitionandinvestigation.Shelearnedthat natureoperatesthroughrhythmsandrelationships,that healingsupportsratherthansuppresses,andthateveryplant existswithincomplexecosystemsrequiringrespectand understanding.Theseprinciples,absorbedunconsciously duringchildhood,wouldlaterbecomethephilosophical DNAofherentirecareer
