 2. Aditi Gupta, Founder, Menstraupedia: Aditi Gupta is a social-cause entrepreneur and the co-founder of Menstrupedia which works on spreading awareness about menstruation. 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. After finding out many women resonated with her on the same problem, she decided to create a website on menstruation, complete with illustrations and graphics, to educate women about periods. Menstrupedia has become extremely popular among girls and women seeking to gain awareness on the topic.

Originally established as LeanAgri in 2017 and subsequently rebranded, the company has garnered approximately 100,000 users, including 2,500 paying farmers. Remarkably, they claim to be the sole enterprise in India successfully monetizing information-based agricultural services.

This company specializes in developing sensors that offer real-time data on farming conditions, with a notable product called 'SHOOL: Smart Sensor for Hydrology and Land Application.'

Additionally, it facilitates water harvesting, reduces agricultural input costs, and boosts productivity. NEERx Technovation's products are currently in use by prestigious organizations like the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), the Indian Agriculture Research Institute, and the National Crop Forecasting Centre.
