Dr. Farnoush Fadavi In 2018, Dr. Fadavi suffered a severe injury that ended her surgical career and highlighted the need for natural recovery solutions. Drawing from her childhood use of turmeric and earlier research on bromelain, she created Bala—a zero-sugar, plant-based enzyme drink designed to support recovery, hydration, and inflammation relief. Launched in 2020, Bala has since delivered over 2 million doses to more than 100,000 customers. Today, Dr. Fadavi is a wellness advocate and entrepreneur, channeling her personal and professional journey into redefining recovery through nature and science. In 2001, Drs. Farnoush Fadavi and Arash Aftabi founded a Dental Surgery Center specializing in complex procedures, completing nearly 40,000 cases over 18 years. Throughout their practice, they encountered ongoing challenges with post-surgical pain and inflammation management. Standard pharmaceuticals often caused side effects, a concern especially personal for Dr. Fadavi due to her own sensitivity to medications. Sri Kalapala Sri Kalapala is a healthcare technology expert turned entrepreneur, with a strong background in business strategy and operations. As the Founder and COO of Evolutis Health, he played a key role in scaling the company’s virtual psychological evaluation services to over 30 states. Leveraging his experience in building operationally efficient and impactful businesses, Sri is now turning his focus to the nutrition space with the launch of Kailo, a clean-label protein bar brand that debuted last April. Frustrated by the lack of truly healthy snack options on the market, Sri began experimenting with protein bar recipes in his own kitchen back in 2018. After years of refining his formula—and with strong encouragement from friends and family who loved the results—he decided to bring Kailo to life.
