Bengaluru-based startup Thinkerbell Labs Pvt Ltd was founded by Dilip Ramesh, Sanskriti Dawle, Aman Srivastava, and Saif Shaikh in 2016.
For many years, Braille has been the primary method of educating visually impaired students. However, for children who are just beginning their education, learning Braille through hand-holding can be challenging and may affect their confidence and development.
To make their education more accessible and advanced, Thinkerbell Labs has developed a unique device called ‘Annie.’ This innovative tool helps visually impaired children read, write, and type in Braille. Designed for ages 4 to 15, Annie uses gamified learning to make Braille education engaging and effective. The device supports multiple languages and has been deployed in over 150 centres across India and internationally.
Originally named Project Mudra, Thinkerbell Labs drew inspiration from Bell Labs, symbolising innovation. Their flagship product, Annie, is named after Helen Keller’s teacher.
