About Us

Imagine a world where accessible education empowers every visually impaired individual to reach their full potential. That's the vision driving us. As a tech-innovative company, we're dedicated to building groundbreaking educational solutions for the visually impaired population across the globe, relentlessly focused on improving learning outcomes. Our pioneering spirit brought to life Annie, the world's first Braille literacy device, a self-learning Braille device used across schools and training centers. Annie has not only been embraced wholeheartedly but has also spread its wings into more than 8 countries, creating a tangible difference. Our journey even captivated audiences on Shark Tank Season 1, becoming one of the most watched episodes globally. 

Our commitment to innovation and impact has been recognized through prestigious accolades like the National Startup Award 2022, the MIT Solve Challenge, and the Times Best Innovation Award in assistive technology. We partner with schools, NGOs, corporations (CSR), and government programs to enable high-quality learning for children with visual impairment.

We invite you to join our inspiring journey as we continue to innovate with Annie and develop new solutions, aspiring to empower every visually impaired learner on the planet.

Who are we looking for?

6. Post-Sales Activation: Coordinate delivery, installations, and teacher training with Operations; track usage to hit adoption targets.
