Akanksha pursued her under graduation in Business and Management from the UK. She has travelled around the world extensively and has shown a keen interest for theology. As a teenager, Akansha had to fight a myriad taboos around menstruation and other cultural practices. This drove her to understand the reach and genesis of such practices in the country. She understands the importance of a woman’s hygiene and strives to procure the right products to build an experience that will help menstruators all around the country.

This venture is a tribute to all the girls in this country to embrace and celebrate their womanhood. My dream is to build an army of independent and empowered women who take a stand for their rights.

Sachin Jain, a third generation entrepreneur, decided to work for his family business after his undergraduate degree in Commerce. Even though he grew up with four sisters, he barely knew about menstruation until the age of 18. He believes that taboo starts from home in the way it’s been dealt with and Scarlet Tales challenges all those old methods by making menstruation feel like it matters. And it’s necessary that young men look at it that way and acknowledge it.

Scarlet Tales was an emotional decision which was made by being educated on menstruation through a college project. Something like menstruation cannot be ignored which is the beginning of life and there is nothing wrong in understanding how the body of 50% of the world’s population functions.
