Agapi’s mission is rooted in a powerful narrative that began with a simple realization. Returning to her family homestay, Rinzing Choden Bhutia, a native of the Bhutia tribe of Sikkim, saw the challenges faced by underprivileged women in her community. This encounter ignited a deep sense of responsibility and a commitment to create positive change. Thus, Agapi was born – not just as a skincare brand, but as a beacon of empowerment and societal transformation.
