The Ahmedabad-headquartered Saathi is one of the top 20 ventures featuring in the Tata Social Enterprise Challenge (TSEC) 2016-2017. TSEC is a joint initiative by the TATA Group and the Indian Institute of Management - Calcutta (IIM), a national level challenge to find India's most promising social enterprises. Founded in 2014 by Kristin and colleagues Amrita Saigal and Grace Kane, the venture claims to be the first company to make biodegradable sanitary pads from banana fibre.
"We were driven by the fact that 275,000,000 women in India can't access pads because they are too expensive, scarcely available and difficult to discard," said Kristin. With a production plant that is women-operated, the enterprise produces pads that are sustainable, highly-absorbent and non-toxic.
