Saral Designs is a verified, high-impact social enterprise established in 2015, manufacturing patented 'Swachh' sanitary napkin machines to decentralize hygiene production. While the real-world utility and technical innovation are exceptional (solving critical needs in developing regions), the submission quality was extremely poor (lazy, unverifiable claims like 'everyone has used my product'). External search confirms a team of 25-50 and significant social footprint, though financial signals are mixed. The score is buoyed heavily by the high humanitarian utility despite the low-effort submission.
