Hi! I’m Suhani, from Mumbai.
I’m usually shuffling between my research and entrepreneurial roles for my PhD at Stanford and my social enterprises. I founded Myna Mahila Foundation, a women’s health non-profit, in 2015 in urban slums in Mumbai. Over the years, we’ve worked on some incredible projects. Victoire, Shagun and I met through some of these, and we shared a common goal of helping make the menstrual process seamless for women like us anywhere in India.
