Savitha started Clean Planet in 2010 in Mumbai to sell eco-friendly versions of mass produced products. For Savitha Rao it all began with a single article.

The former international sales rep for a high-end Italian fashion company had travelled the world and called Tokyo home for years. When she had gathered sufficient experience in the corporate world it was time to start up.
