Our Story
The inspiration behind Cresa comes from our passionate founder and CEO, Sarika
Pathak Kulkarni, who was pursuing her Master’s degree in the USA. While
working on a project to improve sanitary napkins, Sarika was struck by the
widespread issues women face, not just in using menstrual products, but also in their disposal. Determined to make a difference, she set out to create an alternative that was safe, compact, and environmentally friendly.
After years of research and brainstorming, Sarika developed a revolutionary product: The hot water flushable sanitary napkin. This non-plastic, non-polluting solution offers convenience without compromising the
planet’s health. Cresa’s mission is to lead a global revolution in sustainable
period care by providing biodegradable sanitary pads that dissolve safely in water, making period care easier, cleaner, and more eco-conscious.
