Torchit is dedicated to giving back to society. The aim of this venture is to develop an efficient and economical device for Persons with Disabilities, so they can go about their lives with more confidence and speed.
Torchit is a ISO 9001-2015 certified, social venture that is dedicated towards the upliftment and empowerment of the specially-abled population.
Saarthi is an innovative product with CE certification, which can be used to sense the surroundings by the visually impaired people, which will help them in navigate into their dark world. Saarthi can be attached to the white cane and the user will be able to sense the obstacles through feedback in the form of a buzzing sound and vibrating sensations. A powerful battery and microcontroller have been used to make it more effective and long lasting with the availability of three accurate ranges. The user can use the device with a cane to find directions & obstacles in unfamiliar territories, whilst the device can be used independently in familiar regions for obstacle detection. Saarthi comes with built-in detection sensors which help the user easily and accurately identify the surroundings for the person using the device. Owing to our mission of empowering visually challenged, this product has been made quite economical when it comes to the price of the product, so that maximum people could derive its benefits.
285 million visually impaired across the globe face multiple problems in their daily lives ranging from day to day indoor and outdoor travel, to getting fair employment opportunities and even feeling left out in the society.
Saarthi is a hand-held device developed by team Torchit. It can be used to maneuver around obstacles they encounter in their surroundings on a day-to-day basis. Owing to our mission of empowering the visually challenged, this product has been made highly accurate and affordable, ensuring that most people will be able to derive its benefits without spending too much.
We have uplifted 16000 families by providing 'Saarthi'. The social impact would be in the form of improved confidence for the visually impaired community which would empower them to move around and take up different roles in the society, thereby adding up the social and financial capital for the world and contributing to their families in becoming more prosperous.
Through Saarthi, we are promoting independence to the visually impaired person to move around, gain confidence and even get recruited to support his/her family, thereby minimizing the number of families falling prey to the vicious circle of BOP.
