Most 13-year-old children spend their time playing games and simply attempting to get through center school. Anyhow not Shubham Banerjee. Rather, he established his organization, Braigo Labs Inc.
The organization, is a producer of Braille printers, recently got subsidizing from Intel Capital, making Banerjee the younger ever beneficiary of financing from Intel. Furthermore he’s potentially the most youthful ever beneficiary of financing from any VC firm.
The thought for Banerjee’s creative item came to his mind after a non-profit association Organization dropped off a flyer at his home. The flyer was requesting gifts for an association that helped the visually impaired.
He got interest to help and asked his parents how visually impaired individuals read. They urged him to do some exploration on Google. It was then that Banerjee researched Braille. He came to know that Braille printers cost upwards of $2,000.
He then thought numerous individuals, especially the individuals who live in developing nations, wouldn’t have the capacity to manage the cost of such a costly gadget. He was sure that he could make a printer that would cost significantly less. So he turned to an improbable apparatus a Lego unit.
He utilized Legos, paper and a few weights to make a model Braille printer. He entered it in his school’s science fair and got a great deal of positive reception. So he made headway with his creation to get the wander subsidizing that may make him one for the record books. See him talk about his task at the Intel Capital Summit 2014 in the feature underneath.
Despite the fact that the last item won’t be made of Legos, it will be substantially less costly than other Braille printers right around $350. There’s obviously a requirement for such a gadget, since Braille is essential for many individuals. Also there aren’t any alternatives even remotely as reasonable out there.
Banerjee can’t even read Braille. At the same time he enjoys having the capacity to help individuals with his advancement. He said at the Intel Capital Summit 2014: “I was just trying to help people. I never thought it would come this far.”
