Aakar Innovations

Aakar Innovations Private Limited is a Social Enterprise. Aakar believes that true women empowerment is only possible when we create equal opportunities for women. To achieve this Aakar has developed a small scale production unit for sanitary pads, a ‘superior mini-factory’. It runs on simple technology that works in the challenging environments of rural India.
Through the set-up of a mini-factory both menstrual hygiene issues are addressed and improved as is social and economic impact realized.

“Fantastic experts, board members, employees and other stakeholders support us in our work and share the same ambition: to take rural families out of poverty by creating employment for women.”
