- When he realized his wife had to choose between buying family meals and buying her monthly "supplies," Arunachalam Muruganantham vowed to help her solve the problem of the sanitary pad. His research got very very personal -- and led him to a powerful business model. (Filmed in Bangalore as part of the TED Global Talent Search.)

A real entrepreneur , first he realized that there was a problem, thought about a solution and most importantly, he made the solution work. I respect this person and wish him all the success.
A real social entrepreneur
Whos here after watching Padman ?
Siddharth V I watched it, he is a great inventor and a great husband
What a wonder full movie, and the story.after i watched the movie just now, i search about the real man on youtube.and i found ur comment too :)
Me
🙌🏻
Did his wife came back to him like in the film?
Little educated, done this. Surplus educated, what are you going to do for the society....
Hats off to him.....
Came here after watching Padman. All I can say is Not all superheros wear capes. Salute Mr. Muruganatham.
But this one, for sure wear pads
Mee
Lol
People like him is the reason God doesn't send asteroids towards earth.
Why u guys making fun of his english? He is clearly from a rural area and he managed to come with an idea to help women... Now, all you care about his pronunciation and his english accent! We R SUCH GREAT PPL!! At least he managed to make difference to some people whereas, we are just worthless and no shit to anyone and wasting time on internet!! WELL DONE!!
Arjun Nagarajan brother because we are living in damn f****g world where beauty is defined by color of skin and knowledge is defined by the english they speak
Well said. Knowing a language isn't a sign of greatness.
Jack Sparrow I agree
Padman dekh phir koi ni bolega
I can barely understand him. Unfortunately the Indian accent doesn't fit well with English language.
Hit like if you come here after watching PAD MAN trailer.
Big salute to this man and his innovation.
Spandan Mishra yup that's exactly what I did
SAME
Why should we hit like even if watch this after watching Pad man trailer.... Nonsense
I m here after watching padman movie
Rohit Bansal me too
best husband ever
worst wife ever
@@gogo8965 She is not the worst wife ever. Imagine her situation, everybody is saying that her husband does bad things, that he cheats on her with college girls etc. Everybody shames her for being with him...

OMG! now i feel ashamed of not knowing him before the trailer of PADMAN came out!!!Such a great personality! hats off 2 u sir!
Hey surplus educated people, instead of complaining about his accent try activating the subtitles and listening to his idea, okay?
EXACTLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you! :)
I'm shocked, motivated, inspired by his belief in himself that made him to transform himself into an inventor,a researcher and above all a human with humanity... Coincidentally I'm on my periods but I feel no more ashamed of saying this... Thank you sir for breaking the taboos of our society and make us open our eyes by saying what actually education means! God bless you!!
Came here after akshay sir padman tariler
Me too.
One of the most badass heroes in humankind, triple swag. There are more of them who don't get funds and have no money to support their idea, help them.
"Necessity is mother of all invention" Here scarcity of money created a "necessity" to innovate.
Mr Arunachalam is his Perseverance and Passion paid off. Even at the cost of his wife leaving him and his mother ridiculing him for his mission. He continued even when his villagers branded him mad man instead of pad man in initial years.
Most of us would have given up when he continued and continued with a mission. A mission to serve the society. Innovation rarely happens in university It happens in common man every day lives.
Why does these kind of real hero's doesn't get recognition in our country.. media is always busy around politics and what Taimur doing.. huh.. Padman a big salute to u.. God bless u.. u make women feel safe and proud.. and if women happy country happy..
Appreciate the work he has done for the society. With a little care he has made life easy for so many women. Respect and best wishes for him!
Respected sir I'm from Pakistan and I saw the padman movie recently and also yours interview and lecture... You did very well job...you was not did best only for Indian women but it's for all over the world....you're a inspirational man... ALLAH gave you more success in your life.... Your stories and padman movie are 90% match to each other... Sir I really appreciated you... Lot of love from Pakistan ❤😘
Wow I appreciate your conversation dear,Actually am a srilankan, we are still waiting for that when you pak and india Get a peace..
This is one of the greatest achievements. A great innovative idea emerged out of remotest corner of India that will sweep the world like storm. Highly recommended and must watch.
Men like him, should run the world.
Unbelievable. This man is great. In his simplicity, in his ideas, in his values, his mission, his persistence. Wow.
He shows everything that could be right about our society, our global economy, instead of the way the world is now run by greed. He is a light in the darkness of Kali Yuga.
We need more people like him! #respect
He is really a good story teller on top of being a great entrepreneur.
Mr. Muruganantham's lifework is the perfect example of entrepreneur spirit: Forward-minded, perseverance, resourceful and community-serving. Such an inspiring person.
Aside from the nature of his invention, this man took his fascination with a thing and ran with it. Not for the fame, but because it was a void that needed to be filled. That is the absolute recipe for success.
Pad Man brought me here. It made me cry even harder knowing that it was based of a true story. If only, many minds and hearts are as great as his, how much social good would there be around the world. May he live on as the legend that he is. Such an empowering and inspirational movie and man. There should be MILLIONS OF VIEWS.
To all who gave negative response or dislike...
1. Either you didnt have patience to listen what he told for first few mins, or,
2. You forgot that invention is not valued by language
What he is telling in first few mins is, he is totally from rural area and doesnt know english at all. He somehow manages to speak, since he is on a common forum. But he thinks the educated people who watch this, would understand his english!!!
Now I dont know whether disliked people are educated or not?
Baskar Angappan Well said!
He disrespected the money
ankit agarwal throwing money does not means he disrespected money. It's just a paper. It will someday get wasted as well.
Serious respect to you!
Respect from Nepal to this man's greatness...liked his sense of humor as well..
映画を見て見に来ました。
生理の貧困問題は日本も同じです。社会に何を還元するのか。自分が何をできるのか改めて考えるきっかけになりました
just like most of people , came here after Padman blew my mind... i was thinking how much of it happened in real life... n after searching the net my god ...it was exactly how it happened ... best biopic i've ever seen.. and best Man i've ever heard of..Legend .. respect sir...
I never knew this man before the movie pad man.He is indeed a true superhero...what an amazing man and wonderful husband!I wish him all the best in the world
this world need more men like u sir . only few men like u can change society .lots of respect for gentleman like u sir.
Every woman deserves a husband like him 🥺
Wow huge respect to him. Very intelligent, good heart, helping half of Indian women.
Quiet simply a great problem solver of our generation. How amazing is this man! Found a problem, came up with a solution against all odds, for the betterment of his society. What a man and what a champ! Salute sir!!
I LOVE this man's logic, his beautiful morals & ethics and the amazing fight he put up against the world to make his vision work! Truly truly incredible man! SO much to learn from him!
Kudos to this man for selflessly setting out to solve a problem he saw even though it didn't affect him directly. I am in awe of his innovativeness and dedication. This is what true entrepreneurship must be about.
Loads of respect to you sir. I could clearly see the sincerity on your face
This is the core definition of an Entrepreneur. Hats off to you sir. Would love to see you in person once in my life.
For those of you who can't pick up english words even when it's masked by an accent, press the CC button on the video beside the 'Hide annotations' button. It's your subtitle helper.
Niisany thanks
I came here after watching PadMan from Netflix. Salute to this man who has much compassion to women, his solution and invention is a paradigm shift for their society. Thank you sir
When a lot of brilliant entrepreneur come from India, Pakistan and Bangladesh... congratulations.
Now I am watching this after watching Padman yesterday. Seriously man you made me cry with your determination and passion. I salute you for all your efforts.
Normalde aşırı sıkılırım ama adamın anlatımı muazzamdı 2 saat daha konuşsa hiç sıkılmadan atlamadan izlerim. Muazzam bir adam Maşallah
He identified a need, looked for alternatives, tried and tested; succeeded!
He's probably one of the best managers in the world right now!
wow this guy surely deserves all the respect whooo !!!
Respect ✊🏻 to this man and his vision. You have made the entire mankind proud. Bow down!!
Hats off Mr.muruganantham...
The world needs more folks like this very open minded, dedicated brother! May he Live Long & Prosper!
Being a woman I salute u arunachalam.....
Loads of respect for what you are doing.
Hats off to him! What a loving and supportive husband and a great innovator! We must encourage innovation like this. We have so many intelligent innovators like this in India. If only all got the right encouragement like America encourages entrepreneurship, we'd be a super power in no time!
This man deserves all the praise❤
That is sweet, and I mean this you ever come to Malaysia, I'll buy you a drink,
I just watched the Movie by Akshay Kumar PADMAN and was moved. I couldn't stop myself from googling the original PADMAN. This is amazing. Salute... Its people like you who make the society a better place to live in... We all should make an effort to recognize may such mad men/women still waiting for recognition.
you don't need to be iim or iitian to be entrepreneur ..
he is on TED not TEDx...that speaks alot in itself.
That was my best Ted ever watched
*I undeducated done this what you people with surplus education going to do for. This society* best line we need more muraganantham in many sectors of India
Guys, just turn captions on! This man is, well, THE MAN!
He even made me feel proud to be an INDIAN (simple living ,Super thinking )
i understanded nothing but there is a move about this it's amazing
CC located in the bottom right corner
I grew up with six big sisters but I did not know what periods were until I got married, I can't begin to imagine how uncomfortable it must be for a female while on her period,
I can’t understand half of what he says..
but it’s pretty amazing what he did..
The real message is at the end of ted talk.. if little educated person can do so much for society, expectations should be high for the surplus educated. He is just not an inventor but also an inspiration for everyone.
Not that accents and pronunciation features are not interesting enough, but the speaker's project of open-sourcing sanitary pads' production and universalization of its use strikes me as a much more appropriate matter to populate the discussion section.
Philipe Mota I agree, I wonder why people aren't talking about his ability to not chase money. Respect to him for his insane drive to chase a dream, based on a very simple need, that made him so successful. And his ability to stay true to his cause of keeping the cost low. There is an article I read that is now trying to vilify him, I can't believe such people who are manipulating facts to twist the truth.
Anyways his integrity in everything he does is very self evident and I hope he will keep on doing his good work across India.
Indeed a living superhero. We all salute you Sir.
انت احسن من المراجع ورجال الدين بارك الله فيك وشملك برحمته الواسعة ان كانت قصتك حقيقيه
I’ve nothing but huge respect for this man.
This guy made people think that sanitation is nothing not to be talked about. Such a humble soul and an accurate example of entrepreneurship. A real success story.
CLEANLINESS HEALTH IS AN EXCELLENT GOOD FEELING THING !!!!!
This is awesome! The number one reason girls in poor nations drop out of school is lack of access to sanitary supplies. See, they can't go to school while they are on their periods and they quickly fall behind. This would greatly alleviate that problem.
A real hero with a heart of Gold!! What a rare selfless human..inspiration to all!!
I know about this man before I have seen the trailer of Pad Mad, I have seen a movie called ( Phullu ) movie released in June 2017. But since the stars of that movie is not familiar/ famous, that movie did't get the exposure. But Thanks ! to Twinkle Khanna and Akshay Kumar Sir. Now the topic will get a lot of exposure it should get.
Yessss Queen yessss
I really love this comment
A true avatar for every women..........I dont have words to define...........I feel he is worth worshipping when compared to all kinds of unneccesary politicians, Babas and cinema stars.........A real life Hero in true sense and a true man by action.......I Salute you Arunachalam Muruganantham Sir.........you are a living legend in my eyes.
8:00 - "bloody money" was the pun intended? :D
I wish there was a salute emoji! Well done dude
This man has done a great job....I must say beyond great.he thought about the problems women go through there periods.....he is the best husbnd......God bless him
This is a great thing Muruganantham sir..
I want to know that is this sanitary pads used by Indian women now a day. Even today the pads cost is high. So people can't buy this. It should be worked out for women's good health in low cost.

Amazing!
Ek no. innovation
Hats off to you sir.. may people like you live longer and spread happiness:):)
Here after Padman movie.... I feel this subject and the man is not receiving the due credit all over the world. The women of the world who are leaders should bring this to the forefront and the man himself to achieve his Global awareness movement.
I just watched pad man movie , what a great husband and a great person.
600 machines for women in rural villages !!! Wow
Big salute for him
damn mannn, phenemonal speech, Just came here affter watching PADMAN movie!
Really inpsirational
Если бы все мужчины так заботились о своих жёнах ...👏👏👏
The best business idea is alway solving a problem. Arunachalam is a real business man, I really admire people like him.
Thalaivan vera level....🤘 respect bro....innovative ideas 💡 always deserves problems....its a best example
1st i read about in a kannada dialy news paper & den i watched dis film called padman n hatsoff to dis man fr his commitment towards making difference in d lives of poor under privileged rural women
It will work out. That's the beauty of living in India - you could live with $100-$1000 with the same lifestyle. Yet both will not have very different lives. I lived in bangalore for a few years and I had monthly expenses (excluding large purchases) varying from $100 a month to $1000 without any difference - all that changed was where I spent the money. Now, living in the US, I realize why people desire money - everything here is expensive and there are no alternatives.
Salute not only for his work olso for his words..great tamilan
What a personality ! What a personality ! 🙏
This man is an honest saint. He sees what is wrong and he finds a solution without any regard for his own profit. He is just trying to do for mankind, or perhaps that should be womankind, what most multinational corporations would never consider. Good on you, sir!
Pad man probably saved more lives than spider man
I can't believe all the comments about his accent and not the content of the video. People, welcome to the global world!!!
I know this must have been an embarrassing thing for him to take up. Kudos to him for thinking out of the box and seeing life through a woman's eyes!
Un ejemplo para la humanidad. Si tuviéramos políticos como este Señor, este planeta seria ideal.
Little educated done this. Surplus educated what are you going to do? Well said... Keep the good work going, huge respect for you.
This prsn inspires a lot because he changed the mind of various person who hv narrow minds..n also helped women frm there 5days trouble in every month
I watch this video shortly after I watch Padman movie.. What an amazing person..! A real padman..
