Hyundai Motor India launches inclusive mobility program for people with disabilities
Hyundai Motor India Ltd. (HMIL), India's largest exporter since its inception and provider of smart mobility solutions, launched the 'Samarth' initiative to raise awareness and provide support for people with disabilities in India. Hyundai's global vision of "Progress for Humanity" aims to enable an inclusive and progressive world through the power of mobility. In line with this vision, Hyundai has launched an initiative to help create a more aware and sensitive society towards people with disabilities in India. The goal of this initiative is to promote inclusivity and help individuals with disabilities lead a better life by providing them with better access to transportation.
Hyundai Motor India recognized the importance of creating awareness of disabilities in society, considering that there are over 26.8 million differently-abled people in India. To address this issue, the company launched 'Samarth', which is India's first inclusive mobility project at a mass scale by an automobile company.
Hyundai will partner with NGOs and media networks to create a mass movement while also aligning Hyundai dealerships and networks to become more inclusive. With technology, partnerships, product innovations, and storytelling, ‘Samarth’ aims to turn the world into a level-playing field for all. Commenting on the launch of the ‘Samarth’ initiative, Un Soo Kim, MD & CEO, HMIL, said, “We don’t just make cars but also believe in empowering India, and to empower India, we undertake social initiatives under the pillars of- Earth, Mobility and Hope".

We are pleased to announce the launch of the ‘Samarth’ initiative, which is a step towards creating a more aware and inclusive society for the differently abled in India. We aim to cultivate a more equitable and sensitized society for the differently abled and want them to see their true capabilities", he added.
