Our Founder
Ria Shivam
Hi guys! My name's Ria Shivam. I'm the founder and CEO of Packet of Life. I started my mission in India, my home country, when I was struck by the heaviness of the water crisis. I strived to find a solution, thinking of innovative ways to solve the root problem, spending months in a lab to develop the Alum Packet.
I also made a system of ambassadors. Together, we create clubs, spread awareness, and fundraise for the packet. We also work to replace hurtful technology with more water conservative options, not only aiding those in need right now, but preventing more from struggling with the water crisis.
