SBI Foundation, Social Alpha launch challenge for assistive tech start-ups

About the program

  1. Poor access to the end users, which not only limits the understanding of the problem statement among innovators and but also restricts rapid user feedback.
  2. Poorly Funded R&D infrastructure- This not only limits the funding needed for initial development but also limits the number of engineering and Design Centres that can provide expertise in designing, testing and certifying.
  3. Limited understanding of the existing value chain and of functioning of Assistive Technology market, which is also characterized by a weak supply chain infrastructure.
