On 14th Oct, I had the opportunity to present India’s first Assistive Technology Start-Up Awards by AssisTech Foundation (ATF) in partnership with NASSCOM Foundation at IIT Madras Research Park (IITMRP) !

As a part of its 10X programme, IIT-Madras Research Park is betting big in the Assistive Technology (AT) space and intends to help create several start-ups in the coming years.

This initiative focuses on supporting & scaling indigenously built, affordable assistive technology products/solutions for India and the world to empower all Persons with Disability.

As a small step towards this direction, IITMRP organised a conference (13 th to 15 th October) a one-of-a-kind event bringing together the academia, industry and end users of Assistive Technologies,that is persons with disabilities. This conference was having 20+ presenters, 8 workshops and 80+ exhibits.

Many congratulations AssisTech Foundation IITMRP, AssisTech Foundation, Nasscom and all the winners of the first AssisTech Awards.
