Founders & their story
Sruthi Babu
Sruthi, a young and aspiring biomedical engineer, had always dreamt of becoming an entrepreneur. She was determined to make a meaningful impact through innovation and technology. One day, while visiting a hospital, she witnessed a heart-wrenching scene of a patient in a wheelchair, struggling to use the toilet and needing the assistance of his daughters. The patient broke down in tears, feeling helpless and dependent. This moment struck a chord with Sruthi, who knew she had to do something to help people with mobility impairments.
Motivated by this experience, Sruthi began to research and develop a solution that could make a real difference in people’s lives like the patient she had seen. After years of hard work and dedication, Sruthi and her team at Dhanvantri Biomedical finally created Sahayatha – the world’s first wheelchair with an inbuilt toilet and self-cleaning assistance.
The launch of Sahayatha in July 2022 was a significant milestone for Sruthi and her team. The product represented the culmination of their years of research, development, and testing. With multiple patents filed, Sahayatha was not only a ground-breaking innovation in the field of assistive technology but also a symbol of hope and dignity for people with mobility impairments.
