Thinkerbell Labs

Thinkerbell Labs is a disability-tech social enterprise focused on how children with visual impairments learn to read. Their core product, Annie, is designed so that children can learn Braille and early literacy more independently, without needing a specialist teacher at every moment. Recognised as one of Time Magazine’s Best Inventions (2022), Annie is now used in over 300 centres across 26 Indian states and has supported more than 10,000 children. The model is beginning to extend internationally through partnerships with schools and distributors.
