Episode 165
Monday, 12 January, 2026
On today's episode I'm in conversation with Thana Sivasambu, founder of RUCI Foods. Thana shares her story including her background in accountancy and finance, and her proud Tamil and Sri Lankan heritage. She also talks about why she was compelled to volunteer during the aftermath of the devastating 2003 Tsunami. Thana shares the story how RUCI foods was created by working directly with Sri Lankan farmers, fisherfolk, and women-led enterprises and bringing their produce to a wider audience, and also discusses issues surrounding sustainability and safeguarding farmers. Tea and Seeni Sambol is also on the menu of discussion and of course, Thana talks about the quote that sees her through her living/lived experiences in life.For more information about RUCI foods, you can check the website:https://www.rucifoods.com/Thanks for listening to the episode.
