Namita Banka

Namita Banka is a serial entrepreneur and the founder of Banka BioLoo, a publicly-listed enterprise focused on sustainable water and sanitation solutions. She transitioned from a career as a jewellery designer to a social entrepreneur, successfully scaling her technology-driven sanitation concept into a national enterprise with a focus on ESG and social impact.

Formerly a jewellery designer for a decade, Namitas path dramatically shifted after a personal health issue highlighted the severe lack of sanitation facilities. This experience ignited her passion for environmental and social causes, leading her to study NGO management and dedicate her career to solving Indias sanitation crisis, particularly for women and children.

Her career pivot from jewellery design to sanitation was directly triggered by a personal bout of kidney stones caused by the lack of a toilet in her workshop.
