Flyira, from the house of SHAZES, was founded in 2020 by Dr. Shahid Sheikh and Mrs. Sadequa Ruheen who are dedicated to making a difference in the lives of women, both from different workplace backgrounds, getting together with their vision and with their quality products.
Dr. Shahid Sheikh is a philanthropist with a business background who has done his Doctorate in Business administration from the UK. A great visionary and has a huge passion for service to people.

Flyira is an emerging brand of sanitary pads trusted by most women & adolescent girls and aims to create awareness about the importance of menstrual hygiene, access to quality sanitary pads, and waste management.
Flyira is research-focused and innovative, as the company says “Flyira products speak for themselves”. Flyira pads are designed using best-in-class raw materials and premium grades that provide greater comfort, and odor and prevent leakage.
Flyira flies under the visionary views of Dr. Shahid Sheikh “… Aiming to create one million jobs for women in rural India in an economically profitable and sustainable way... making Affordability and Availability to be on the same platform.”
Another important aspect Flyira focus on is Waste Management – disposing of used pads.
One of the best things about Flyira Sanitary Pads is their contemplative packaging as every napkin is accompanied by an Oxo- biodegradable cover that helps in decomposing via sunlight. Packaging is the biggest way we communicate our brand. “FLYIRA” as it says “Fly in this era” as it brings an international, aspirational approach. It’s a great example of consumer-driven brand design.
Flyira has been sheltering women under its hood by giving them working opportunities and assisting in being a Re-seller. In this way, Flyira ingeniously supports Women's Empowerment with open hands.
