We start by discussing her time at Procter & Gamble working in feminine care and how she developed a sanitary pad company in India.

Amrita explains why the diaper industry is so hard to break into, how she patented her Double Dry technology, and how she raised $3 million before she had a product.After that, we get into the Shark Tank saga: how the show found her, why she passed while four weeks postpartum, and how she came back for a guest Shark episode.
