She is counted among one of the most successful women entrepreneurs in India. She started the venture along with her husband, Tuhin Paul. The venture stemmed from her own experiences with this so-called taboo. Menstruation was often a painful time she had to go through without any help to alleviate the pain.

Menstrupedia has become extremely popular among girls and women seeking to gain awareness on the topic.
