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
"If there’s one phrase that sums up my journey, it’s truly ‘The eChai Effect.’ Six years ago, I simply walked into my first eChai event, not knowing what to expect. The honest conversations, energy, and inspiration from founders and entrepreneurs struck a chord within me. That eChai spark became the catalyst for everything to follow. I proudly say: my entrepreneurship journey started—and keeps evolving—because of eChai. Redicine Medsol’s story is integrally linked to this community. I’ve gained so much, not just as a founder but as a forever volunteer and grateful member of the eChai family. With all my heart, thank you Jatin Bhai and everyone at eChai for shaping, guiding, and supporting my dreams. The eChai Effect will always be a part of my story."

"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."

"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."
