Shubham Banerjee is a young entrepreneur that created his business Braigo. Braigo is a company that makes printers for the blind. Banerjee first learned about how braille worked by simply googling and researching how blind people read. Once he learned more about how it worked, he got very interested in the process of braille and started brainstorming with a Lego Mindstorms kit. The idea quickly grew, and eventually he started his business. His biggest drive behind his company was learning about how blind people read as well as seeing the daily struggle these people go through and wanting to come up with a new and better way to help the blind out. One thing that is unique about his company is he tries to keep them as low-cost as possible. Yes, he still needs to make money but that’s not his only goal. He sincerely feels for people that cannot read. He also recognized the gap there was in the market in this area and his business fulfilled gap that gap. This business recently took a huge step as intel invested in this business.
Banerjee story is very inspiring. One of the cool things about his startup story is how he sincerely felt for the blind and that became his biggest motivation behind starting the company. Another trait he demonstrated very well is finding a gap in the market. Although there’s many types of braille, an affordable printer was new to the market. Overall, Banerjee’s story is very inspiring, and we can all learn from it.

True sincerity is a good motivator for anyone who feels drawn to improve peoples’ lives. Even a young person like Banerjee can make a big difference by eliminating a pain blind people experience on a daily basis. The fact that money is not his main goal makes his motives feel even more genuine.
