Every year, three lakh wheelchairs are sold in India, of which two and half lakh are imported. 95% of all wheelchairs sold in India are one-size-fits-all. They restrict mobility, damage health, and lower self-confidence. Few wheelchair users can safely and independently transfer into tricycles and modified scooters. How can we expect the majority of wheelchair users to go outdoors?
NeoMotion, an IIT Madras startup, creates transformative products for wheelchair users (elderly, physically challenged) to enable them to be an inclusive part of society.
NeoMotion works with NGOs, Foundation and CSR bodies to implement impactful projects in the space of Disability. The projects are majorly looking to achieve the SDG10 Goal of Reduced Inequalities. While the end-beneficairy is a person with disability, the impact thematic areas also encompass Education, Livelihood and Para-Sports. NeoMotion was recently featured on the popular show SHARK TANK INDIA
