Founder’s Story

  • Vanitha Venkat, Founder
  • I’m Vanitha Venkat and this is how my journey started with Utsahas. We had lived quite a lot of years in Japan and it was about time we moved back home. It goes without saying, we did miss the top-notch quality of products that were readily available there but we concede that our country has come a long way in terms of providing better quality products accessible by people from all walks of life.

    Nevertheless, the one thing I couldn’t find or settle for was the sanitary napkins. I was super-specific about them being completely organic and biodegradable. What started as a simple hunt for a sanitary napkin with the desired properties in India soon became a frantic forage with futile results. I tried a lot of brands with deceitful claims only to come to a realisation that they were just that - claims.

    After a mind-numbing unsuccessful search, I embarked on this journey to design a sanitary napkin which is safe for women and the environment. I’m a chemist by profession, so I do possess first hand knowledge as to what combination works the best and how to keep women infection-free. After intensive research, I came up with a blend of compounds including cotton, neem powder, triphala, sandalwood, vetiver to give you all medicinal benefits that these possess and be environment-friendly.

    Our Cause

    While we are blessed to have a roof on top of our heads and have hearty meals three times a day, there are children and people who are entirely devoid of such basic human necessities. We cannot begin to imagine the plight of these girls and women during those five daunting days. Our hearts go out to them and as a part of our cause we donate 2 napkins for every pack you buy. At this point, we beseech you to help us in helping more and more women everyday.
