Shri Arvind Kumar (@arvindtw), Director General, STPI, at the Fireside Chat on “Financing the Missing Infrastructure: Building India’s Assistive Technology Ecosystem”, held during the NCPEDP-Mphasis Universal Design Awards in New Delhi on 14.08.2026, highlighted the importance of building a strong, sustainable and inclusive assistive technology ecosystem that harnesses India's capabilities in technology, innovation and entrepreneurship. Key highlights from his address: 🔹 Viksit Bharat @2047 is a vision of inclusive growth, empowering every section of society to contribute to India’s development. Inclusion also calls for a mindset where persons with disabilities are recognised as capable contributors to the workforce and innovation ecosystem. 🔹 AI is opening new possibilities in assistive technology, enabling the development of more personalised solutions for persons with disabilities. 🔹 India’s vibrant startup ecosystem can play a pivotal role in addressing real-world accessibility challenges by transforming identified needs into innovative solutions. 🔹 The ecosystem needs to move beyond one-time CSR and subsidy-led interventions towards sustainable infrastructure that enables private players and innovators to build, scale and sustain solutions. 🔹 Dedicated Assistive Technology Hubs and Centres of Entrepreneurship can foster innovation, support startups and accelerate the development of technology-driven solutions in this emerging domain. 🔹 An integrated marketplace for assistive technologies can make products more accessible, while also enabling users to find information on their maintenance, repair and upgrades. He emphasised the need to build a sustainable Assistive Technology ecosystem that brings together government, startups, innovators and industry stakeholders to accelerate inclusive growth. #STPI #NCPEDP #AssistiveTechnology #AI #Accessibility #InclusiveIndia #ViksitBharat #StartupIndia #Innovation #DigitalInclusion #TechnologyForGood @GoI_MeitY @AshwiniVaishnaw @JitinPrasada @SecretaryMEITY @NeGD_GoI @ncpedp_india @Mphasis @_DigitalIndia @armanaly @DeepaNagraj @TiEDelhi @startupindia
