The world’s first smartphone for the blind is being made in India by the country’s young and talented innovator Sumit Dagar at the Incubation centre in Indian Institute of Management, Ahmadabad. Dagar holds a post graduate degree from the National Institute of Design (NID), Ahmadabad.

“We have created the world’s first Braille smartphone,” said Dagar. “This product is based on an innovative ‘touch screen’ which is capable of elevating and depressing the contents it receives to transform them into ‘touchable’ patterns.”

He is collaborating with IIT Delhi on making the prototype, which is currently being tested at L V Prasad Eye Institute in Hyderabad.
