This IITian lost vision 8 years ago, he now develops ‘voice app’ that helps visually impaired use popular apps

Tue, 12/08/2020 - 11:10 -- geeta.nair

Pramit Bhargava, an alumnus of IIT-BHU and IIM-B, is behind the Louie app that enables visually impaired users to use popular apps with voice commands.

A drug reaction 20 years ago affected the retina of Pramit Bhargava, an alumnus of IIT-BHU and IIM-B. Since then, he slowly started losing his vision, and by 2012, it had dropped to a point when he could not read anything. Losing his vision had impacted Bhargava, both mentally and physiologically. Low on confidence, the 53-year-old even started questioning himself.

World Disability Day: What will it take to change the status quo?

By Shruti Pushkarna

 

As I write this piece, I’m experiencing a mixed set of emotions. I’m thrilled because I have managed to nearly complete a year of this column on ‘Media and Disability’. At the same time I’m sort of disillusioned, thinking if this fortnightly exercise has made any real difference for persons with disabilities. I’m saddened because the media or the society doesn’t much care about vulnerable groups and their respective challenges. But more than anything I’m angry.
