Introducing

Hunny Bhagchandani

Founder, Torchit
Hunny is an industrial engineering graduate from Pandit Deendayal Petroleum University, Gandhinagar. He was also a fellow at the Royal Academy of Engineering, UK and the MIT Media Lab. Coming from an engineering background, Hunny always wanted to serve the community with his technical understanding. During Hunny’s internship with the social sector back in 2013-14, he witnessed a visually impaired person in a terrible accident. The incident left a dent on his heart and mind. His social internship at the Blind People’s Association (Gujarat), made him realise how an inaccurate assistive device almost caused one of his visually impaired friends his life. He eventually came up with a prototype that was converted to an MVP.
