Ishana is a young entrepreneur who makes reusable sanitary pads made
of poplin cloth. A pack of six can last for a year, she says.
Not a graduate, not an entrepreneur but Ishana has become an icon of
Coimbatore. The 18-year-old resident of Ganapathy has proved her social
responsibility by manufacturing ‘reusable sanitary napkins’ made of
poplin cloth (a variety of cotton fabric). This is a revolutionary step
taken against profit mongering companies, which produce sanitary pads at
a high cost.
