Rethinking the Everyday: Materials Science, Motherhood & Building a Better Diaper with Amrita Saigal

What does it take to question something the world has long accepted as “good enough”? Amrita Saigal, founder of Kudos Diapers, brings a unique blend of materials science, curiosity, and purpose to one of the most universal parts of early life. With a background in mechanical and materials engineering from MIT, she set out to rethink what babies’ skin touches every day—long before she became a mother herself. Our conversation traces the experiences and values that shaped her, the moment she began questioning the materials inside everyday diapers, and the intention behind building a brand rooted in transparency, safer materials, and thoughtful design. Along the way, Amrita reflects on innovation, integrity, and how motherhood later deepened the meaning behind the work she had already begun.   ✨ Connect with Us: Dina on IG: @dinadelaurentiis Kudos on IG: @kudostobaby Amrita on IG:@amritasaigal    ✨ Sip + Support My Favorites: 🌱 Matcha Ritual (Pique Sun Goddess Matcha) →https://www.piquelife.com/collections/black-friday-cyber-monday-sale?rfsn=8721569.cf2321&utm_source=affiliate&utm_campaign=20off&utm_medium=pp_ig&utm_content=dina_delaurentiis 💪 Protein I Trust (Equip Prime Protein) → https://www.equipfoods.com/DINADL — save 15% with code DINADL 🍫 Protein Bars I Love (Jacob) → https://www.eatjacob.com/DINA38710 — save 10% with this link! 🧴 Clean Body Care (OSEA) → https://oseamalibu.com/?rfsn=8720882.2b3d8... — save 10% with code DINADL10 💧 Everyday Hydration (Buoy Electrolytes) → https://www.justaddbuoy.com/DINA94759 — save 20% with code DINADL ⏳ Health & Longevity Support (ReadyRx) → https://readyrx.com/shop/p/na?s=HOME — code DINADL (savings vary by product) Red Light therapy I’m OBSESSED with (JOOVV)→ https://lddy.no/1o5it  — code DINADL for 50$ off 🛒 Shop All My Faves (Amazon Storefront) → https://www.amazon.com/shop/dinadelaurentiis Favorite Shelf Stable pouches → https://sophiesorganics.com/collections/all  — save 20% with code DINADL New Skincare that I LOVE → https://shop.adipeau.com/DINADL  — save 10% with code DINADL One of the best Air Purifiers in the GAME is Air Doctor →https://www.airdoctorpro.com/?oid=17&affid=12484 My Fave red light panel → is JOOVV → https://lddy.no/1o5it  💚 Let’s thrive through the mess + magic together.
