Tuckered Out with Ami Thakkar

A Sustainable Solution for Feminine Hygiene in India

Episode Summary

My next guests have built an organization that is not just starting the conversation around menstrual hygiene in India, but they are educating people across India and changing the way menstruation has been talked about in the past and even today. Tarun Bothra and Kristin Kagetsu are co-founders of Saathi, a purpose driven manufacturing company that makes eco-friendly hygiene products. Their mission is to create hygiene products that are good for the body, environment, and community. Saathi pads are biodegradable and compostable, using plant-based materials for the leak-proof outer layers of the napkin. I have no doubt that these are the kinds of ideas and the people that will help change our world for the better. www.saathipads.com
