Svanika Balasubramanian, co-founder and CEO of rePurpose Global, is named to CNBC's inaugural Changemakers list — recognizing women whose accomplishments have left an indelible mark on the business world. The profile documents how Svanika built rePurpose into a platform working with over 300 consumer brands to reduce plastic waste, framing the plastic crisis not just as an environmental emergency but as a humanitarian catastrophe — one that has been systematically pushed onto low-income communities in the Global South. She went on to speak at the inaugural CNBC Changemakers Summit in New York in April 2024, alongside honorees including Gina Raimondo, Naomi Osaka, and Drew Barrymore.
