Anshu,

I've seen you at work, was greatly moved by your commitment and dedication and understanding of where there are gaps that need to be filled...providing a basic to women - sanitary napkins is something that's so simple yet nobody thought of it...the consequences of that on women in rural areas and in the face of disaster, is shocking. I hope you get all the support and help you need to fund this extremely important venture.

Thank you, Anshu for championing such a vital hygiene issue for many poor women. I admire the fact that you've taken up a cause that many would shirk away from, as well as shown to the world that a viable working social enterprise model can be built around it. Keep up the awesome work that you're doing!!

Anshu, your goal is inspiring... First, it sensitizes the relatively fortunate people to the issues of millions of invisible lives. Second, it makes them stake-holders in the solution and its implementation. Brilliant. I am interested in knowing how you plan to scale up nationwide? I will keenly follow the initiative, and here's wishing you all the best!

Cheers, Kalyan

Hello..

Congrats for this achievement..If you're working for a good cause, many people will recognize your work at some point or the other which for your team happened now. I especially liked your concepts "Clothing with Dignity", "Vastraadaan" apart from "Not just a piece of cloth". I like the way you want to make use of everything, literally everything. I'm inspired by you and in our college(DA-IICT, India) as every year apart from collecting collecting clothes, mattress, buckets, books etc, we're now collecting newspapers also, which is very much needed for this initiative.
You're definitely inspiration for the youth. A lot can be learned from you.
