        “Many times we pull down our masks and wear it up again because of the discomfort since they’re constantly touching your face.
        Using in-house resources, a team of 3 people converted a vague idea for a face mask into a usable prototype by 6 April.
        While we put most of our ideas on social media for others to ideate upon, we decided to take forward the project of making masks in-house,” says Anuj Prasad, Co-Founder and CEO of Desmania, speaking to The Better India.
        The prototype eventually became AARMR, a unique and affordable full face mask, for frontline health workers, office-goers, delivery executives and travellers.
        The company claims that AARMR has three times the efficacy of a normal mask, due to three reasons:
        First, the unique design ensures that the mask covers the entire face so there is no risk of touching your eyes, nose or mouth.
        “Many times we pull down our masks and wear it up again because of discomfort since they’re constantly touching your face.
        There are entities making masks which cover your mouth and nose, while others are making a face shield to cover the entire face.
        The price range on Desmania’s full face masks range from Rs 500 to Rs 1200.
        For example, they have made masks for delivery executives, office goers or those visiting shops to buy essentials, travellers and one for doctors and policemen on the frontlines.
        Almost all the face masks available in the market completely hide the wearer’s face, preventing any real human interaction.
        Hence, Desmania decided to make their masks fully transparent, and add a modular filter.
        “For masks distributed to delivery boys and office goers, we have used a filter which is water washable and durable.
        For the doctor masks, we are doing a lot of R&D and working with a few doctors to get the specifications right.
        This may take a little longer because doctor masks require a whole array of compliance measures and certification,” says Anuj.
