Saina Sahni

ET Young Changemaker 2026

Co-founder of Zirow and a young voice for sustainability, Saina approaches waste as a creative brief: a chance to reconsider what celebrations need, and what they do not.

Zirow began while Saina Sahni and Meher Sharma were students at Scottish High International School in Gurugram. Their work explores how prevention-led choices can make event culture more responsible without making it less joyful.

The most sustainable material is often the one we never needed to buy.
