Elevating the Narrative for Asian Women
Founded by Mawarni Adam, marqetr was first conceptualized in 2015, as an on-demand platform to help women and mothers gain access to flexible employment so they can take care of their families while still striving for a career. We grew at such a fast rate in the last few years that we lost sight of our core purpose which was about helping women. We have since returned to that original vision.
Today, marqetr strives to connect with like-minded individuals through stories of Asian women like us and celebrate who and where we are in our journey. We believe that by harnessing the power of storytelling, and championing inspirational stories, we can change and elevate our narrative together.
Through our publishing, podcast and the studio arms, we aim to bring you the best of storytelling can offer. So, get ready to read, listen and watch the content, proudly brought to you by #TeamMarqetr.
marqetr is a fully remote company with a diverse team from multiple countries.
