Why We Created HYGR?
Once upon a time, Meng, who had long struggled with smelly armpits, met Ivor, who suffered from dry, bleeding lips. Together, they found solutions to their personal challenges and discovered a shared passion for helping others. Thus, HYGR was born as they embarked on a mission to solve people’s struggles while dedicated to reducing plastic waste and promoting sustainable living
'Hai-grr' = a word twist of hygiene as a result of
personal care products that our company wants to achieve
If you have a little time,
let us walk you through our journey...
How's everything started
📆 May 2020 (where it's all started)
After completing a 9-month internship and struggling to find a lawyer job, I felt lost. The pandemic hit, and I was stuck at home, applying to over 30 law firms with no replies.
Born of HYGR
We decided to create my own company, HYGR with only RM1,500 (RM1000 from myself, RM500 from my partner also my girlfriend, Ivor in startup capital (while earning RM1,000 during the internship).
That was the initial sketch photo of HYGR, HYGR was named and logo sketch in canva overnight with starting capital of RM1,500 in Meng's parent's house empty room.
Moving to Kuala Lumpur
📆 July 2020 - October 2020 (Side Hustle)
Business was slow as meng learned to sell online. Meng secured an RM3,500 lawyer job in Selangor, working long hours and making HYGR products at night. Despite our hard work, savings remained elusive, andHYGR’s monthly sales were modest (RM2,000-5,000).
But, HYGR was a side hustle that we almost gave up.
📆 May 2021 - December 2021 (Turning Point)
8s Tiktok Video went viral
