59 Quotes by Arunachalam Muruganantham

I always say, 'Be near science and technology, and you will never fail.'

The strong creation created by God in the world is not the lion, not the elephant, not the tiger - the girl.

My plea is that don't wait for a girl to become a woman to empower them. Empower a girl's life by giving sanitary pads to them. With pads, we give them wings.

You can send women to the Moon or Mars later. First, provide sanitary pads to them.

My vision is to make India into a 100% sanitary-pad-using country. Menstruation is no more a taboo.

Imagine: I got patent rights to the only machine in the world to make low-cost sanitary napkins - a hot-cake product. Anyone with an MBA would immediately accumulate the maximum money. But I did not want to. Why? Because from childhood, I know no human being died because of poverty - everything happens because of ignorance.

The taboo regarding menstruation exists across the world, even among the educated.

The idea came from my wife, since in our village, women cannot afford to buy sanitary pads. When I asked my wife, she told me we would have to cut down half of our milk budget to buy sanitary pads. Moreover, while raw materials for sanitary pads cost 10 paise, the end product was sold for 40 times that price. So, I decided to create it on my own.

Even if I can take sanitary napkins to 10% of the poor women in India, it will be big achievement.
