Namita strongly advocates the need for every household to have a toilet. To make this happen, Banka BioLoo has a practical solution which comes at an affordable price. This is where Namita puts her skills to navigate through difficult situations to use. She has been able to convince corporate giants to contribute under corporate social responsibility to help bring bio-toilets to the marginalized sections of the society. “I am willing to take a risk in business but I will never downgrade the product.”

Indian business lobbies such as the Confederation of Indian Industry, the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry, and several other consultancies reach out to Namita for advice. Her multi-pronged approach and understanding in a sector which was traditionally believed to be a bastion of NGOs, is much sought after. Her association with Indian corporate giants such as Havells, GAIL, Dalmia Bharat, Shapoorji Pallonji are a testimony to her work. “Being a Cartier Awards Laureate has really opened up doors for me. People are willing to give me a chance.”
