About:

54-year-old Shyam Sunder Bedekar lives in Vadodara, Gujarat. Although he is a textile dye and chemical trader, he is more popularly known as the innovator who has been revolutionising women’s hygiene in rural India. From sanitary napkins that cost Rs 2.50 per piece and the machines that manufacture them to terracotta incinerators that help rural women dispose of their napkins, his innovations are ingenious and simple.
