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
"For me, eChai is a second home. I've been associated with it since the early days, when it was already setting a different tone for how startup communities could work. As a traditional business owner entering the new-age D2C space, eChai supported me in every direction. Over the years, it became my window to the startup world — and also gave me lifelong friends who continue to show up, for business and beyond."
Pankaj Bhimani
Founder, 58miles
"We found eChai to be a force multiplier throughout our startup journey. Through it, we connected with folks from DevX, Allevents, Plutomen, and more - many of whom became friends of IndiaBizForSale.com and even part of our clientele."
Bhavin S Bhagat
Co-founder of Indiabizforsale and IBGrid, TiE Ahmedabad President
"I have evolved from role of Community Builder to Startup Consultant to Startup Ecosystem Enabler to Angel Investor and now launching a Venture Studio and eChai has been a catalyst in my overall journey as Startup Evangelist since 13 years."
