- One Indian social entrepreneur has given women from low income groups in India dignity, by making it possible for them to afford to buy sanitary towels and provide them with an income at the same time. Arunachalam Muruganantham is the person who changed things.
From a poor background in the South of India, he created the world's first low-cost machine to produce sanitary towels. According to a report by market research group AC Nielsen, "Sanitary Protection: Every Woman's Health Right", 88% of women in India are driven to use ashes, newspapers, sand husks and dried leaves during their periods. As a result of these unhygienic practices, more than 70% of women suffer from reproductive tract infections, increasing the risk of contracting associated cancers.
Muruganantham re-engineered a sanitary machine, and in 2006 it won the award for the best innovation for the betterment of society from the Indian Institute of Technology, Chennai. Plus, he also received an Indian presidential award for innovation. Currently more than 600 machines made by his start-up company, Jayaashree Industries, are installed across 23 states in India. This social entrepreneur sells the £1,600 machines directly to rural women through the support of bank loans and not-for-profit organisations. A machine operator can learn the entire towel-making process in three hours and then employ three others to help with processing and distribution.

He is genius, Isn't even afraid of speaking English even he isn't very good at it but He is genius
Spellbound and in tears after watching this talk show.
His Curiosity to know what it is,
His love to impress his wife,
His innocence to understand the medical store owners behaviour,
His affection for his lady love's health and hygiene,
His grit to solve this,
His passion to create the solution,
His patience to tackle the setbacks,
His determination to continue it,
His maturity to withhold and embrace all the things,
His courage to do it.
It's not job , it's his mission.
He is extremely powerful.

he is just a normal ordinary human searching for a meaningful life with strong determination,unleashable focus,excellent willpower. Hats off to u sir.
A School Drop-Out making waves by inventing low-cost sanitary napkins for all women - Just look at his vision and methodology : Each One of Us CAN do it. So we need to have 'Social Approval' to do such noble deed?
What are we teaching in schools if such a man with a high intelligence is dropping out
This guy was made for leadership and I admire his confidence and courage. He turned the educated, money making, greedy, self serving, world upside down. His lesson is about selflessness, sacrifice for the greater good, women’s health, knocking down traditional barriers, personal and economic growth, development for women.
this man is one of my heroes. not because of what he did, but because he wanted to improve women's, he never sold out to a big corporations, and continued to do good work even when he was ostracised by his family and community.
I red his story in a book an year back..Today only i'm watched his speech..Truly inspiring ..Not even Bill gates and Steve jobs delivered like this
Alagar Raja Can you please tell me which book?
Legend of Lakshmi Prasad by Twinkle Khanna. I guess 😊
What a wonderful man ! He's a true visionary ,clever inventor, and the hero of many women. He never swerved from his purpose and has empowered people in many places .He deserves the Nobel Peace Prize.He has my utter respect.
"to get a meaning full life, all you need is a problem"; hats off sir, hats off 🙏👏
What a truly wonderful and inspiring human being. He maybe academically lacking in education but he's what I believe a truly intelligent man i.e. when some one is truly intelligent, academic education is not required for such people. Somehow they find a way because of their intelligence. Well done. I'm very inspired by this gentleman. He's so humble and doing his work to truly help women of the world with utter disregard for any financial gain and this is why he really is living a meaningful life.
wwickedsunnyy not just intelligence, Hard work, Curiosity, Empathy, dedication and patience.
Now that's called simplicity,idea,problem solver n buty of a common man...m impressed.....
Very humble man. Speaks from his heart and he got the crowd behind him. Very humorous too in an unconcerned way too.
Delighted to see a movie being made on on Mr. Arunachalam. We at Safe-n-Happy Periods, do workshops for school girls in different corners of India. The more we reach out, the more we feel the need of many more such efforts. I am sure this movie will not just make our work easier to a great extent but also for others who have been dedicatedly doing it.
SafenHappyPeriod s Say no more!
He is a genius, Made something that we don't even think, This is what true Love can do....
I wish to have same kind of heart and brain
What a frank bold humourous intelligent guy he was..... Full of goosebumps while watching this talk... Sir we salute you...
what do u need to live a meaningful life....a problem. wow....this inspired me the most. Hats off to u sir. U r real hero👌👌👌👌👌
Hearing his mission and vision, goosebumps all over me. He is d real MAN. 👍🏻
What an amazing man he is!! I mean he can't be described in words. Kudos and pore power to him and his team
just saw padman trailer....came here to know more.....salute to you sir
FUNNY + TALENTED + TALENTED = i love him
Prachi Patil you are right
He is charming indeed and his intentions are Nobel and good.
One question please? In the West we create a lot of pollution and using sanitary towels. Having to throw away at least 10 pads with plastics and chemicals in the pad itself and plastic in wrapping. So a big environmental footprint. So now if a 100% of Indian women use pads what will the impact be for India's environment? Or are these pads more biodegradable than the one Procter and gamble, SMK and co supply in the West?
ARTEMISIA On a Quest go marry him
