India’s youngest entrepreneur and founder of Generic Aadhaar Arjun Deshpande saw this same problem faced by blind people and came up with a very innovative idea to make their work easier. Most blind people or the visually impaired do not understand the difference between packaging drugs and have to rely on others to buy or consume them.
