About Sparkle

Sparkle’s story, quite fittingly, started with a spark. Three, to be precise. The social and cultural stigma surrounding periods while she was growing up, sparked Hetal to think about all the hurried whispers, hiding, guilty glances, and the almost shameful image that the society had set for its menstruators. On the other hand, working with a number of nonprofits across the globe and learning about the physiological and socio-economic issues related to the lack of access to period products on the lives of millions of young girls, was the spark that set Chirag on his course. When Hetal and Chirag came together with different perspectives yet a shared vision, that’s what sparked the inception of their journey to make a positive impact together. After having explored several paths, they’re now both taking the road less traveled by not just developing sustainable and plant-based period products; they’re also aiming to develop new mindsets, new perspectives, new avenues, and new ways of life for menstruators across the globe.Read their story
