Manage episode 435552878 series 3422218
In this episode, I chat with Shagun Maheshwari, a mechanical engineer and the CEO of Papaya, a company based in Mumbai that makes a new type of menstrual pad. Shagun grew up in Mumbai, studied at the University of Pune and Duke University, and now lives in California with her family of pets.
Shagun started Papaya six years ago and turned it into a full-time job this year. Her company’s pads are unique because they make menstrual blood clot, which keeps it from getting wet and messy. This innovative approach means the pads stay dry and are made without plastics, making them better for both your health and the environment.
In this episode, we’ll cover:
- Shagun’s personal journey and what inspired her to start Papaya.
- How her pads use blood coagulation and why it’s a game-changer.
- The benefits of Papaya pads versus other options.
- The environmental impact of Papaya pads, especially in landfills.
- The materials used in making Papaya pads and how they ensure comfort.
- Feedback from users and any interesting case studies.
- How to learn more about Papaya and purchase their pads.
- Shagun’s future plans for Papaya.
In this episode, you'll learn how blood coagulation works, the benefits of using it, and more about Papaya pad's innovative approach.
