Manage episode 498925885 series 3577964
Over 1.3 billion people worldwide live with disabilities - yet most assistive technologies remain expensive and out of reach. Hunny Bhagchandani, founder of Torchit Electronics, is changing that with affordable innovations like the Saarthi Smart Cane, Jyoti AI Smart Glasses, and ENABLE MART, often called the “Amazon for Accessibility.”
His products have already reached half a million people across 40 countries.
From an eye-opening internship at a blind school to being named Forbes 30 Under 30 and pitching on Shark Tank India, Hunny has turned a simple idea into a global movement.
