Saathi Pads is a manufacturing company based in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India, that produces 100% biodegradable sanitary pads made from banana fibre. Founded in 2014 by Kristin, Tarun, and Grace, it operates with a women-led leadership and a production plant that is run by women, pursuing a cradle-to-cradle approach to women’s health. The pads provide a natural, compostable alternative that avoids plastic waste and CO2 emissions associated with conventional sanitary products. The company also prioritizes social impact by employing women, including those from low-income backgrounds, in production and running the #ONEMILLIONPADS initiative to distribute pads through NGOs to underprivileged rural women. In recent development, Saathi participated in Expo 2025 Osaka to showcase sustainable menstrual health solutions.
