Some founders are shaped by ambition, others by necessity. For Rachana Nakra, it was the quiet discomfort of a monthly habit that set everything into motion.

Every cycle, Rachana found herself reaching for disposable sanitary pads until the environmentalist in her started questioning the cost. Not the price, but the waste. The non-biodegradable build-up. The silent damage. What began as a simple reflection soon became a search for better answers.

That search led her to reusable cotton sanitary pads a sustainable solution that immediately clicked. But instead of buying one, Rachana, with a background in textiles and fashion, decided to sew her own. What followed were countless tries, small failures, leaky tests and finally, a leak-proof, comfortable, reusable pad she could trust.

She used it for months. Then came the bigger question:
“If this helped me, who else could it help?”

That thought became action. Rachana began stitching more, one pad at a time, and sharing them online. And that’s how EcoRia was born not as a product, but as a purpose: to create greener, kinder, and guilt-free periods for women everywhere.

What sets EcoRia apart isn’t just the product it’s the principle. Rachana isn’t chasing trends or markets. She’s offering an honest, thoughtful alternative rooted in empathy for both people and planet.
