More about Saif Shaikh
Co-Founder and Director @Thinkerbell Labs |Building inclusive e-learning products for Visually Impaired| Hardware developer
I am the Co-founder of Thinkerbell Labs, where we’re disrupting the way the visually impaired learn across the globe. We have built a tech ecosystem to enable self-learning and classroom teaching of Braille. Our flagship product ‘Annie’ is the world's first Braille literacy device. Annie is a smart, connected device that helps a visually impaired person learn to read, write, and type in Braille on their own while making it easier for other sighted stakeholders to get involved in their education. As an ed-tech organisation, we are combining innovative technology, new teaching practices and the best of curricula to bring out interactive, engaging and gamified learning experiences.
Building the best learning systems for visually impaired require hardware interventions. I handle all aspects of the organisation concerning with hardware product development across the entire development cycle. I work in building IPs around Braille input and output technologies which form the core of our products.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words
"eChai is playing biggest role in my personal and professional life together. Its a community where i meet like minded people to share idea and learn from their idea. Even while playing cricket i learn something and i implement something new from that learning. Its my entry point for building network in different countries where my base is not established yet. Personally my only fun activity day in a week is eChai cricket and social."

"The eChai platform has been super valuable for me - it has helped me gain a deeper understanding of domains in the startup and tech ecosystem. What stands out most is the celebration of knowledge, professional growth, and entrepreneurship - it’s one of the best for the Indian ecosystem. Along the way, I’ve also been fortunate to make some great friendships and connections too."
