Meet Hunny Bhagchandani
Hunny Bhagchandani, an engineering graduate turned successful entrepreneur, talks about his inspiring journey, from getting the idea of designing the obstacle detector device to withstanding in the competitive market to help the visually impaired. Watch him talk about his journey where he shares life lessons and how everything aligns and makes sense. He shared with me the disappointing truth that many interns before me had expressed grand plans of developing a solution, only to fall short on commitment and follow-through. Determined to break this cycle, I resolved to turn my vision into reality.
Inspiration Behind the Start
As an eager engineering student, I embarked on an eye-opening journey during my internship at a Blind School. The experiences I encountered there left an indelible mark on my heart. Witnessing Visually Impaired navigating their daily lives and bumping into obstacles ignited a fire within me. It was a wake-up call to the stark reality that amidst the rapid advancements of smart cities, smartphones, and automated cars, there was a glaring absence of solutions to assist visually impaired individuals in maneuvering through their surroundings safely. Motivated by a desire to make a tangible difference, I turned to my mentor at the NGO, a remarkable individual who happened to be Visually Impaired themselves. He shared with me the disappointing truth that many interns before me had expressed grand plans of developing a solution, only to fall short on commitment and follow-through. Determined to break this cycle, I resolved to turn my vision into reality. With unwavering dedication, I delved into the world of engineering and innovation, drawing inspiration from an obstacle-avoiding robot. It occurred to me that the same technology could be harnessed to assist the visually impaired. I envisioned a device that could detect obstacles, provide real-time feedback, and empower Visually Impaired to navigate their surroundings with confidence and independence.

Saarthi as empowering lives
Thus, the seed of Saarthi was planted. Driven by passion and guided by empathy, I embarked on a relentless journey of iteration and refinement. The road was filled with challenges, requiring countless prototypes and iterations to achieve the desired result. Sixteen attempts later, the final product emerged, encompassing the essence of precision, accuracy, and simplicity. However, Saarthi's impact transcended the boundaries of technology. It became a beacon of hope ‘Saarthi as empowering lives’, igniting a sense of empowerment within the community. The device not only reduced collision rates but also heightened obstacle awareness and instilled newfound confidence among the visually impaired.
AI smart glasses,
In 2020, as I visited various Blind Schools and NGOs, I was consistently met with gratitude from users who found Saarthi incredibly beneficial for their daily navigation. They shared how the device effectively identified all kinds of objects in their path, making their day-to- day lives much easier. However, a recurring piece of feedback I received was the desire for more detailed information about the objects detected. Users expressed that while knowing something was ahead was valuable, being able to specifically identify what it was would be even more empowering. This sparked an idea in me—what if we could create AI-powered glasses that not only detect objects but also provide detailed information about what’s in front of the user? This concept marked the beginning of my journey into developing a more advanced, AI-driven solution for enhanced independence. In our relentless pursuit to empower the visually impaired, our journey has taken us beyond boundaries.
