More about Padmini Janaki

I grew up in a small slum around Madras in the 90s, and I still remember my single mother's body, thin and tiny. She looked weak, and when I grew up a little, I found many women around me looked similar,frail and tired. I thought it was a sign of poverty. 

My mother worked in a textile as a salesgirl, I went to the shop directly from school to be with my mom, and there was an owner; she was rich and looked well-fed. I found her highly unhealthy; she suffered from obesity which I couldn't understand at that age, but I figured out money has nothing to do with being healthy, and I thought the problem is with the country.

Years passed, and in 2019, I worked in a US healthcare company. I talked to the teen pregnant girls; they're 13 and already a parent; as a product manager, I couldn't stand in their shoes and understand their reason. 

That's precisely the point I figured out Women health is under-served worldwide. Rich, Poor, Indians, Americans, EVERY woman is going through a different health issue, and not many are worried about it!

It is growing in 22% higher rate.

Then one year from that I quit my job. Here I am with Mind & Mom and 50,000 women in the platform.

Would you like to join my mission to make women have better health? Let's talk.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

"If there’s one phrase that sums up my journey, it’s truly ‘The eChai Effect.’ Six years ago, I simply walked into my first eChai event, not knowing what to expect. The honest conversations, energy, and inspiration from founders and entrepreneurs struck a chord within me. That eChai spark became the catalyst for everything to follow. I proudly say: my entrepreneurship journey started—and keeps evolving—because of eChai. Redicine Medsol’s story is integrally linked to this community. I’ve gained so much, not just as a founder but as a forever volunteer and grateful member of the eChai family. With all my heart, thank you Jatin Bhai and everyone at eChai for shaping, guiding, and supporting my dreams. The eChai Effect will always be a part of my story."
