About Us

Our Mission Story

Sattva Aakar was born from a simple yet powerful realization: design can be a force for social transformation. In a world where complex challenges like menstrual health, stigma, educational inequality and environment degradation persist, we saw an oppurtunity to use design as a bridge between problems and solutions.

Our journey began with a deep dive into India's urban slums. where we witnessed firsthand how lack of access to information and resources perpetuated cycles of inequality. We realized that traditional approaches to social change often overlooked the power of visual communication and human-centered design.

Today, Sattva Aakar stands as a testament to the belief that design can normalize taboos, educate communities and amlify voices that have long been unheard. We work at the intersection of creativity and social impact, creating tools and experiences that don't just look good rather they do good.

Our philosophy of 'Design to Undesign' reflects our commitment to stripping away complexity and returning to what truly matters: human dignity, accessibility and meaningful connection. Every project we undertake is guided by this principle, ensuring that our solutions are not just innovative but also deeply human.
