Maitri - Menstrual Welness

Problem Statement

Young women (18-36 age group) in India balancing education or early careers often experience unpredictable, high-symptom days linked to menstrual cycles or PCOS. It disrupts focus, routines, and relationships, and is often met with stigma, lack of formal accommodations, and pressure to push through. Limited awareness of triggers and reliance on short-term coping (medication, overwork, avoidance) create a self-reinforcing loop of exhaustion, underperformance, and guilt. At the institutional level, this translates into hidden productivity loss, missed deadlines, and presenteeism, with no simple, respectful way to manage or communicate needs.

Pain Point

Unpredictable “bad days,”
guilt about reduced output,
awkward leave/extension asks,
poor sleep around cycle windows, and
ruminative late-night scrolling.

Solution Objective

Build a lightweight, stigma-aware tool that helps students and early-career professionals in India anticipate symptom-heavy days, plan simple self-care routines, and request accommodations discreetly, so they can protect productivity without oversharing.
