At the 3DEXPERIENCE Lab, this year, we are lucky to have a startup among us whose CEO is part of this ranking!
First of all we have Ajinkya Dhariya who is the founder and CEO of PadCare Labs.
Curious, creative, and courageous, Ajinkya is all of those things, all the time. His design thinking and user-centric approach along with a deep enthusiasm for product engineering enable him to solve everyday problems innovatively and efficiently.
Dhariya founded PadCare Labs in 2018 to solve an environmental and hygienic problem: Most of the used menstrual pads in India end up in landfills, where complete decomposition of the materials can take centuries. To alleviate the impact, Dhariya has come up with a device to recycle the used pads instead. It can disinfect and process up to 1,500 pads a day, and turn them into recyclable materials such as plastic pellets. The startup raised an undisclosed amount of funding late last year from India-based incubator Venture Center.
Ajinkya Dhariya the seed of PadCare early in his college days and persevered night and day to establish what would soon be a global revolution in menstrual hygiene management. He owes his success to the ideology of the 3-Ps - Passion, Perseverance, and Persistence.
The Government of India, Toilet Board Coalition, World Intellectual Property Organisation, UnLTD India and WSSCC have acknowledged him. He has received multiple awards for creating a social and environmental impact.
His Vision: Creating sustainable societies by enhancing hygiene standards.
His Mission: Change the way people experience hygiene in everyday life. The aim of Padcare Labs’ team: to accomplish this by exercising a Sustainable, Innovative and Product driven approach
