With over a billion people (about 15 per cent of the world’s population) having some form of disability, according to WHO, it becomes important for tech companies to create their products with accessibility features in mind. As awareness towards assistive technology (AT) is growing, major tech companies and young startups are either creating special hardware products or incorporating software features designed to address the needs of individuals with disabilities.
Blind and visually impaired people in our country struggle to find employment opportunities in both the public and private sector. With limited options, they are either left dependent on government welfare measures or do odd jobs to fend for themselves. Covid -19 has further added to this problem. Eyeway Helpdesk has been flooded with callers seeking help with income generating avenues to help them stay afloat.

I almost didn’t write this piece. In fact my mind was totally blank. No ideas. Zilch. Then I wondered to myself, this column is all about voicing issues, it’s not like there’s a dearth of those. The challenge is not the lack of ideas or issues, but my brain’s selfish need to focus on personal problems.
22-year-old Santosh Kumar connected with the Eyeway Helpdesk after listening to our radio programme on All India Radio a few years ago. After losing his vision at seven, Santosh had to drop out of school due to lack of awareness and his family’s weak financial condition. His father, an auto rickshaw driver couldn’t afford to even consult with eye specialists for his son. But the radio series gave him hope that he too could lead a somewhat normal life.
