Some founders are shaped by ambition. Others, by necessity.
For Rachana Nakra, Founder of EcoRia, it was the quiet discomfort of a monthly habit that set everything into motion.
Every cycle, she reached for disposable sanitary pads until the environmentalist in her started questioning the real cost. Not the price, but the waste. The non-biodegradable build-up. The silent damage.
Her search for answers led to reusable cotton sanitary pads. But instead of buying one, with her background in textiles and fashion, she stitched her own. What followed were countless trials, 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 EcoRia not just as a product, but as a purpose: creating 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; she’s offering an honest, thoughtful alternative rooted in empathy for both people and the planet.
“I started this because I wanted to feel better about my own choices. Now I want every woman to feel that power and to know small changes matter.”
Today, EcoRia is more than a brand.
It’s a movement stitched together by care, consciousness, and a belief that sustainability can start right where we least expect it.
💚 When one woman made a switch, she didn’t just change her own routine – she made space for others to do the same.
