The numbers that made us build this
Every figure below carries its source and year. We don't manufacture data.
This is the actual app
Not a mockup — these are real screens from Ritudhara. Pick one to see it.
Women's health has many problems to solve.
Hygiene access, education, nutrition, stigma, healthcare — each is a real battle, and no single app can honestly claim to fight them all.
- Access to affordable hygiene products
- Menstrual health education and awareness
- Nutrition and anaemia in adolescent girls
- Stigma that keeps girls out of school
- Access to gynaecological care
We're solving one of them with technology — and solving it well.
Ritudhara focuses on cycle awareness and data dignity: giving every woman a private, respectful way to know and own her rhythm, in her own language. Awareness is where self-ownership begins — so that's the one problem we've chosen, and we won't be distracted from it.
Why this app had to exist
Most period tracking apps are built for Western women, in English, with cloud-first architectures. In India, 30%+ of women aged 15–24 still lack access to proper menstrual hygiene information (NFHS-5, 2020–21). The apps that exist have repeatedly been caught mishandling intimate data.
Know moreNo Indian-first, offline-first, multilingual, privacy-structural period app exists at scale. Flo settled with the FTC in 2021 for sharing user data without consent. 61% of period apps shared data with Facebook (Privacy International, 2019). Indian women deserve better.
Know moreRitudhara is built structurally for privacy — not as a feature, but as architecture. Your data never leaves your phone by default. Your consent is kept as a tamper-proof record no one can quietly change. The key to your data is only ever yours.
