Austrange Announces Strategic Partnership with Vision Care NGO

We're thrilled to announce a strategic partnership between Austrange Solutions and VisionForward, a leading non-profit organization dedicated to supporting visually impaired communities across India.

Partnership Highlights

This collaboration represents a significant step in our mission to make assistive technology accessible to those who need it most. The partnership focuses on three key areas:

1. Technology Distribution Program

Together with VisionForward, we'll be launching a program to distribute 500 E-SIGHT devices to individuals from economically disadvantaged backgrounds over the next 18 months. The program will prioritize:

  • Students pursuing higher education
  • Working professionals navigating urban environments
  • Elderly individuals with age-related vision impairments

2. Training & Support Network

A comprehensive training program will accompany device distribution, ensuring users can maximize the benefits of E-SIGHT technology. This includes:

  • In-person training sessions in 12 major cities
  • Online support resources and video tutorials
  • Peer mentorship connections
  • Regular follow-up assessments

3. Research Collaboration

Our technical team will work closely with VisionForward's research department to gather valuable user data and feedback, directly informing future product improvements. This user-centered approach ensures that our innovations remain grounded in real needs.

Words from Leadership

"This partnership represents exactly the kind of impact we envisioned when founding Austrange Solutions. By combining our technological innovation with VisionForward's deep community connections and expertise, we can ensure E-SIGHT reaches those who can benefit most from it." - Abdus Samad Qureshi, CEO of Austrange Solutions

"We've been impressed with the practical, user-centered design of E-SIGHT. This collaboration will help us fulfill our mission of empowering visually impaired individuals with tools that significantly enhance their independence and quality of life." - Dr. Meena Sharma, Executive Director of VisionForward

Looking Forward

The first phase of device distribution will begin next month in Mumbai, followed by training programs in Delhi, Bangalore, and Chennai. We'll be documenting this journey and sharing updates regularly here on our blog.

We're deeply grateful to everyone who has supported our mission so far, and we're excited about this new chapter in making E-SIGHT accessible to more people across India.
