Our Vision
Menstrual product dispensers were introduced nearly a century ago—and little has changed since. Too often, they’re outdated, empty, broken, or locked behind coins. At Nila, we envision a future where menstrual products are treated as basic essentials—available in every restroom, everywhere, just like toilet paper. We are building the smart infrastructure that makes this possible.
Our mission is simple: to normalize menstrual product accessibility in every workplace and public space, while helping facilities managers operate more efficiently.
Nila is redefining what inclusive, modern facilities look like—one restroom at a time.
Our Story
Our founder led a multi-year effort to audit Harvard College's campus to assess menstrual product accessibility. Through this work, she experienced first-hand the challenges in the supply chain of menstrual products from commercial procurement of quality products to facilities management inefficiencies. She helped improve Harvard's access to menstrual products from about 24% to nearly 100% in just 2 years. Today, she is focused on applying those operational learnings to ensure reliable menstrual product provision in schools, universities, workplaces, airports, and hotels nationwide.
