Hiteshi Dutta: The Pad Woman of India Leading a Sustainable Revolution Against Period Poverty
The Daily Beat 
Periods Are Forever. So Is the Solution.
Where Awareness Became a Forever-Green Movement
In a country where menstruation is still spoken about in whispers, Hiteshi Dutta chose to speak—with clarity, courage, and consistency.
Her work did not begin with a brand. It began on the ground—inside government schools, tribal regions, slum clusters, rural villages, and forgotten communities, where girls missed school every month not because they lacked ambition, but because they lacked awareness, access, and dignity.
Through Suharth Foundation, Hiteshi enabled the distribution of over 1.5 lakh organic sanitary pads to underprivileged girls and women across India. But while working closely with communities, she realised something deeper:
- Access alone was not enough.
- Awareness was the real gap.
- Even if Girls were given Pads—
- There were no answers.
- No confidence.
- Not a safe space to ask questions.
That realization led her to create India’s first complete wellness guide on Menstruation, Period Hygiene, and POCSO Awareness—a small, friendly, small cute book designed to stay with a girl long after an awareness session ends.
Not a textbook.
But a quiet companion she could return to whenever doubts arose.
For Hiteshi, awareness was never meant to be temporary.
It had to last.
That belief shaped what came next.
Ecozen: Purpose with Practicality
With the same intent, she founded Ecozen—to ensure that organic sanitary pads are affordable, accessible, and honest.
No flashy branding.
No inflated pricing.
No passing unnecessary costs to women.
At Ecozen, the product is the hero.
The purpose leads.
The model stays grounded.
Hiteshi became the brand ambassador not through campaigns, but by personally leading grassroots awareness sessions, working with schools, governments, corporates, institutions, and communities—breaking myths where they actually exist.
When the Supreme Court of India directed that organic sanitary pads be provided in all schools, it felt like more than a policy decision.
For her, it was a personal validation of years of quiet, consistent work.
Impact That Scales: The Micro-Entrepreneurs Program
Understanding that real change grows when people participate, Ecozen introduces its Micro-Entrepreneurs Program—enabling individuals to become impact-driven partners with an investment starting at just ₹5,000.

This is not noise.
