S5 ONE STOP SUSTAINABLE SCALABLE SANITATION SOLUTION
An initiative to make India, Open-defecation free
CONSTRUCTION OF HOUSES AT THE MICROHOUSING LEVEL
Using innovative supply chain management in microhousing
In 2013, when we realized that over 55% of the households in India did not have toilets, we got inspired to enter the construction market of sanitation based on our past experience and registered a company Udaygeeth Construction Pvt Ltd.
Our dream is to provide health and dignity to the people who need basic sanitation facilities and sustainable houses.
Since then we have diversified and moved into construction of houses for microhousing loan customers and prospective customers of affordable housing.
We partner with microfinance institutions (MFIs), banks, Small Finance Banks (SFBs), and Housing Finance Companies (HFCs) for housing construction while we continue to work with corporates and NGOs for toilet construction.

In 1998, he quit his job to join HDFC Ltd’s Microfinance Institution (MFI)- IASC- a maiden effort in microfinance in India. As CEO of IASC from the inception of the institution, he took the MFI to an enviable position in ten years’ time. Under his stewardship, IASC became the first in the country to take up individual financing to SHG members and was the first to have a menu of verticals for financing micro-housing, sanitation, debt redemption, etc. He was instrumental in getting the coveted UN Global Compact Award in 2002 for HDFC Ltd.
