Narrating about the idea behind this creation Ritu said, “While moving in public places like roads, parks, community centres and local buildings I saw that every second person was spitting, while walking I always felt disgusted. In every corner of India, you will find such people. It was that moment when I decided to create an invention that will eradicate the whole problem. Therefore, with the help of my other two friends, I worked on this idea”. She wanted a permanent solution that can be easily made available to grassroots.
