CHIEF STEWARD

Miki Agrawal is a trailblazing entrepreneur, speaker, and two-time bestselling author renowned for founding the disruptive companies TUSHY, THINX and WILD. A “Young Global Leader” recognized by the World Economic Forum and named one of Fast Company’s “Most Creative People,” Miki infuses her talks with two decades of boundary-pushing business experience, captivating audiences with her insights into innovative marketing, product development, and business scaling.

With a track record of building two nine-figure companies that disrupted two industries, Miki is now channeling her entrepreneurial spirit into her fourth venture, HIRO Technologies, aiming to solve the global plastic crisis with nature-inspired plastic-eating fungi. HIRO Diapers are the company’s first product, tackling the #1 household plastic waste item - disposable diapers. Every baby goes through about 6,000 diapers in their lifetime, creating a massive waste stream that HIRO is uniquely designed to address. As there is no current scalable solution for the global plastic crisis, HIRO’s shelf-stable, scalable fungi represent a true breakthrough in tackling the world’s most challenging plastics to degrade, harnessing nature to heal nature.

Chicago’s stage for ideas + connection at the convergence of our culture, innovation, and democracy.

Our future feels uncertain, yet we are resoundingly called to what matters most: You and me. Us. Humanity, itself. At TEDxChicago 2025, we believe the most powerful force shaping tomorrow is our collective agency, imagination, desire for connection and laughter, dignity, and generosity. This year, our speakers and artists arrive on Chicago’s stage to share their ideas, showcasing their fierce commitment to unify science, technology, and sustainability with the essential principles of compassion, justice, and care. This is our love letter to Chicago.
