Impact Story
Naman Patel, from Gujarat, is a person with a disability since childhood due to polio. In 2007, he began his career in the stock market and got a wheelchair for mobility. Although he bought a motorbike to travel, he still needed help to load his wheelchair onto the bike, limiting his independence. To solve this, Naman designed an innovative sidecar for bikes, equipped with a foldable ramp. This allows users to park their wheelchair and shift to the bike independently. The sidecar can carry two wheelchairs comfortably.
Naman’s invention gained popularity after his participation in Project Discovery in 2020. A father from Orissa traveled to Gujarat to get a similar vehicle for his daughter, enabling her to travel outside her home for the first time in 10 years. Naman’s creation, ‘Accessible Dhanno,’ won the ‘Solution of Solutions’ award in 2020 and was showcased at the Purple Fest exhibit in Goa.
