Hello, I’m Dr. Shafali Gupta, a molecular biologist turned entrepreneur with a passion for innovation. My journey began in the world of life sciences, where I spent years conducting research in cancer biology, earning my Ph.D. from the University of Queensland (UQ). During my post-doctoral work at UQ, Australia, I started a company called Steadliving, an e-commerce platform. Over time, my curiosity and drive to make a tangible impact led me to co-found Uuvipak, a startup focused on creating eco-friendly solutions to combat plastic pollution.
At Uuvipak, I guided the company from concept to market, developing sustainable products and securing partnerships with global giants. My work has been recognised through multiple awards, including being named a Global Talent finalist by the Australian Government and listed as one of the Top 100 Innovators by the Australian Business Review.
Beyond the lab and startup, I’m committed to using my skills to drive positive change in the world. Whether it’s through advancing medical technologies or creating sustainable environmental solutions, I believe in the power of science and entrepreneurship to shape a better future.
This website is a space where I share my journey, insights, and the lessons I’ve learned along the way. From my early days in cancer research to my current work in sustainable innovation, I hope to motivate others to pursue their passions and make a difference.
