Speaker Bio

Sakshi Vasudev, Founder of BamPads!, decided to start up a business selling reusable pads due to the impacts of global warming. In addition, the movie “Pad Man” inspired her to contribute to the wellbeing of women and girls in developing countries, who do not have access to affordable sanitary products and instead would use dirty materials for their periods. Because of this, young girls would miss 20% of their schooling just. With this thought in mind, Sakshi decided to start up this business not only to help the environment, but also the women who cannot afford basic, clean sanitary products.
