Powder Rooms
200 sq ft smart, aspirational toilets with retail — commercially viable and women-centric.
Coming soon — Bengaluru first
Smart, women-run sanitation. Not a toilet — a transformation.
Gramonnati Trust has partnered with Woloo — India's smart-hygiene platform, featured on Shark Tank India 2022 — to bring dignified, technology-enabled sanitation to Bengaluru, Puducherry and Tamil Nadu's temple towns. Our first units launch shortly.
Where this stands today. Gramonnati has not yet broken ground on its own Woloo units — and we are telling that story honestly. Anything on this page described as “network” belongs to Woloo's own operations elsewhere in India, not to us. Our first project is about to come up in Bengaluru, and we are inviting partners to join at the ground floor.
The problem
India's sanitation crisis — and women pay the price.
“Every day, many women are forced to choose between their safety and their basic needs. That is not a personal problem. It is a public infrastructure failure.”
Women reduce water intake, skip meals and avoid travel — all to manage sanitation deprivation.
The Woloo ecosystem
India's only integrated smart-hygiene platform.
Six interconnected services — monitor, manage, monetise — that turn a public toilet into a viable, accountable piece of infrastructure.
Hygiene monitoring
Real-time stink detection, air-quality sensors, usage counters and mobile alerts.
Loo-Locater service
Find certified washrooms across India through the Woloo host network.
Hygiene product retail
Women-centric products and services sold in-unit and through the app.
Cleaning task management
Digital janitor scheduling, audit trails and a compliance dashboard for facility managers.
Facility management
Centralised management of multiple toilets — standards, QA and performance data.
The Powder Room
200 square feet that change a woman's day.
Solar-powered, IoT-monitored, SHG-operated — and designed to be somewhere a woman actually wants to stop.
Clean powder room
200 sq ft, gender-segregated, auto-flush, sanitised after every use, disability-friendly.
Women's safe space
Beauty and changing room, feeding room, baby care and a sanitary napkin dispenser.
Café + convenience store
Managed by women's SHGs — personal care products, beverages and snacks.
IoT smart monitoring
Stink sensor, air quality, usage counter and real-time alerts via TASQ-Master.
WAH-Score hygiene rating
India's first people-powered toilet rating — like a credit score, but for cleanliness.
Sustainable design
Solar panels, bio-digesters, vertical gardens and zero-waste operations.
The network we're joining
Beyond concept stage.
Woloo's own operations already run on government mandates, paying customers and physical infrastructure in the field.

Where we're headed first
Bengaluru, then Puducherry and the temple towns.
Bengaluru is our first city of deployment. Plans are underway to bring Woloo's smart Powder Rooms to the city's fuel retail outlets, transit hubs, religious sites and markets — closing a real, daily gap for working women, commuters and market-goers.
Once Bengaluru starts, Gramonnati is planning a 100-unit deployment across Puducherry and Tamil Nadu's major temple towns — Madurai, Tirupati, Trichy, Rameswaram, Thanjavur, Chidambaram and Kanyakumari among them. The goal: prove a replicable model in Puducherry, then scale it as a template other Tier-II/III pilgrimage cities can adopt.
01First deployment sites
BPCL & HPCL fuel stations
A national MoU is signed with Woloo. Bengaluru forecourt sites are being finalised for high impact.
02High footfall
Railway & bus stations
At major rail and bus terminals, women passengers have no safe, clean option on the journey.
03Tourist zones
Religious & heritage sites
Lalbagh, Cubbon Park, temples and markets — destinations with near-zero women's hygiene infrastructure.
04Economic centres
Urban markets & hubs
KR Market, Jayanagar, Koramangala — Bengaluru's commercial heartbeat, where women vendors work every day.
The force behind the mission
From defending the nation in uniform to serving it through Swachh Bharat.
Every unit under Gramonnati will be staffed by the people who have earned, and too rarely received, dignified employment — in partnership with AWPO and the Army Wives Welfare Association (AWWA).
