      How did the Idea Conceptualize?

      As explained, there are more than 20 lakh visually impaired kids in India with low literacy rate. Even in the developed countries, literacy rate for visually impaired kids is around 10% only. As per WHO, 1 in 1000 visually impaired kid needs a product like Annie.

      Low literacy rate of visually impaired kids is a global issue and Thinker Bell Labs has come with an excellent product Annie  to resolve it.  We would like to mention it again that Annie is world’s first self-learning, remote-enabled Braille literacy device. It helps kids learn the braille by speaking in their mother-tongue. It is integrated with their product Hilios through which the progress of the child can be tracked and new learning content can be downloaded.  This also enables the children to learn in schools.  Annie can be used by the kids of age 4-15.

He very well explained the usage of the device, its keys and the learning method.  He won the hearts of the sharks with his ultra intelligence and answers. The best part was when he said “I’ll manage”. And the funniest part was the one , when he was asked by one of the shark if he is a share holder in Annie, he smartly answered that he is the brand ambassador 😊.  This kiddo is  a huge fan of Aman Gupta but after his demonstration, Aman Gupta became his huge fan.
