About Stree Sanman
Climate technology with a human purpose
Stree Sanman Private Limited is a Mumbai-based company that designs and builds technology for clean air, safe waste, women’s health and hands-on science learning.
The story behind the name
Respect for women, Mother Nature and Mother Earth
Stree means woman and Sanman means respect. For us, that respect extends to Mother Nature and Mother Earth, because the health of women, communities and the planet are deeply connected. Stree Sanman began in 2018 with a vision to bring sustainable solutions to everyday problems. Our first products, sanitary napkin vending machines and incinerators, were built to fight period poverty and give girls and women dignity during their periods.
That work showed us how closely health, waste and the environment are linked. From safe disposal of sanitary waste we moved to biomedical and municipal waste, clean air and waste-to-energy. Today our journey has evolved into the circular economy, where waste becomes a resource and every solution puts people first.
Our journey
From period poverty to the circular economy
What began as one vending machine order in 2018 has grown into a research-led clean technology company working on waste, air, women’s health and STEM.
The first order
Stree Sanman started as a proprietorship and received its first order for a sanitary napkin vending machine on 29 December 2018.
Incinerators join the range
We added incinerators for the safe disposal of used sanitary napkins.
600+ vending machines
More than 600 vending machines sold across India and abroad, including orders from Amazon, Zerodha and Birlasoft during COVID.

Incorporated as a private limited company and began research on air purification.
