“The Apple of Toothbrushes”: How Suri is Disrupting the $10 Billion Oral Health Care Industry
from Scratch: CMO Interviews · host Gyve Safavi, Viren Samani
Gyve shares how SURI found its edge by listening closely to real customer frustrations and rethinking the product from the ground up, from design and performance to sustainability. Instead of treating sustainability as the headline, SURI builds products people genuinely want to use first, then makes them better for the planet. It also dives into how SURI is translating that momentum into retail, competing on shelf through design, clarity, and brand recognition, while continuing to evolve as a work in progress, including early validation from Jony Ive that reinforced their belief in design as a core differentiator.
