The NClude Initiative addresses the exclusion of people with disabilities in India from essential information and employment opportunities, largely due to inaccessible digital content. With 70% of this community unemployed, costing the economy around $112 billion annually, the initiative aims to bridge this gap using large language models (LLMs). By converting inaccessible content into accessible formats and offering career guidance, NClude opens up new educational and professional avenues for the disabled community in India, ensuring equal opportunities for all.

The AccessABLE project, funded by UNFPA, GDI Hub, and GNYPWD, aimed to tackle the significant challenges faced by young individuals with disabilities in accessing sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) information.

Technoprise developed an AI-powered conversational platform aimed at collecting sexual and reproductive health data from young girls and women with disabilities in underserved area to truly enable “nothing about us without us”. The solution includes a WhatsApp chatbot, web chat interface, mobile app, and data collector portal, offering a comprehensive data collection system with a survey editor and AI-assisted analysis.

Believe in the Invisible is a project aimed at raising awareness and promoting understanding of invisible disabilities.
