A graduate of Ankara University’s Chemistry Department, Nazlı Gündoğdu began her career in the pharmaceutical industry. Following her passion for natural ingredients and sustainable agriculture, she started cultivating saffron in 2020. What began with Good Agricultural Practices soon evolved from a personal hobby into Safranatolia — a brand that blends tradition, science, and innovation. Safranatolia introduces premium Anatolian saffron to the world through gastronomy, cosmetics, and saffron-based skincare products. Combining scientific expertise with respect for nature, Nazlı’s mission is to share the rich heritage and exceptional quality of Anatolian saffron with the global market, while also empowering women in agriculture. Recognized by national and international entrepreneurship programs, Nazlı continues to inspire as a chemistry-driven entrepreneur bringing one of the world’s most precious spices to new horizons.
