Deep Bajaj always had an inquisitive mind and an entrepreneurial brain which led him to venture into many businesses right from an early age. He has brought a number of innovative and India first products in the space of feminine hygiene. His company Sirona is now getting close to selling a million menstrual cups and more than 3 million peebuddies, the female urination device. He has won several ET awards, Fortune 40 Under 40, National Entrepreneurship award and Spirits of Manufacturing award. But above all, he is a successful social entrepreneur and a problem solver.
The menstrual cups by Sirona are a revolution as they can replace millions of pads used over the years and provide multifold advantages of being sustainable, cost-effective and ease of use for women of all age groups. The fact that Deep and his team are out there to solve the menstrual hygiene issues which are often neglected is in itself highly commendable. I feel it is very fascinating that more and more men are now talking about feminine hygiene and striving towards solving these issues making a huge difference. Join me in spreading this wave of awareness to bring about a radical social change.
Small Big Wins started in middle of 2020. The primary objective has been to talk to people who are not so famous or known but have done exceptional work. Most of these conversations are with people who have done some real solid social good, while also holding up their selflessness. Their wins in their own words. You be the judge, whether Small or Big.
Coming to my latest conversations with Swami Atmananda Saraswati ji, I would first share in a few words my own journey of searching the higher. This started somewhere in 2012, from reading, listening to Osho, then spending months at Isha Foundation Ashram doing everything in the book there, listening to some globally “famous” masters, I ended up at home. Home meaning our own timeless Indian scriptures – Bhagwad Gita, RamCharit Manas, Upanishads, which reveal that, where only a few blessed revel. I learnt about Adi Shankaracharya and his contribution to Sanatan Dharma. Hearing discourses from different masters, once I came across a discourse on “Atma Bodha” by Swami Atmanada Saraswati. When I tried to google him, I could not find anything. Somehow deep down the searches, I found some co-ordinates to reach him. This resulted in increased interactions and my knowledge seeking got a definite direction. If at all, these conversations would be valuable and known, it would be for Swami Atmananda Saraswati.
It is my great fortune to bring “Who is My Charioteer” to the audiences. For someone Small like me this is a Big win! The Part 1 of this series is titled “Fundamental Understanding about Life”. You will find these conversations starting Episode 59. Just search for “Who is My Charioteer” in the title.
