NeoFly and NeoBolt

Winner: NeoMotion Assistive Solutions Pvt Ltd – Established Stage

NeoMotion is a crusade against the mediocre disability products that mar the Indian landscape. This mediocrity has led to wheelchair users being invisible from the society and restricted to the four walls. How often do you see a wheelchair user at a school, at an office, at a shop or at a theatre? Every year, three lakh wheelchairs are sold in India. 95% of them are like this – “One size fits all”. They restrict mobility, damage health, and lower self-confidence.Less than 1% of wheelchair users can independently transfer into tricycles and modified-scooters. How can we expect them to go outdoors?
