About Us

Who we are

CAPET (Centre for Absorbent Product Engineering & Testing) is an independent, commercially sustainable social enterprise dedicated to strengthening India’s hygiene ecosystem. We provide rigorous, standards‑based testing, practical training, and end‑to‑end factory consultancy for sanitary napkins, diapers, wet wipes and other absorbent products — helping brands, manufacturers and bringing safer, higher‑quality products to market.

What we do

CAPET was founded by Jinoj Kandamkovil (Jinoj K), an industry practitioner with deep experience across menstrual‑hygiene solutions, machine fabrication and factory commissioning. Jinoj’s work in vending and disposal solutions, sealed‑napkin production and turnkey manufacturing has shaped CAPET’s pragmatic, quality‑first approach — blending lab verification with real‑world manufacturing know‑how.
