Anirudh Sharma personifies social entrepreneurship in the modern era. With his one of its kind invention, ‘Haptic shoe for the blind’, Anirudh is looking forward to make life simpler and accessible to the visually impaired. Anirudh’s technological invention provides voice based navigation aids, vibrations, once connected to an android device. The user has to simply speak and confirm the location and then, the haptic shoes ensure you are at that place without any hazel. The shoe vibrates while the person is reaching his destination and thus ensures accuracy.  To ensure its availability to all, Anirudh did not restrict this waterproof product to any brand. This device which consists of a small circuit board can be installed in any existing pair at a very nominal price.
