India is not a physically disabled-friendly country as compared to other countries. According to the 2011 census, 2.1% of the Indian population is physically disabled. According to the 2011 census, 75% of persons with disabilities live in rural areas, 49% of the disabled population is literate, and only 34% are employed. If we think of mobility aids for the disabled person, the public transportation system seems very discriminatory to disabled people. Most common modes of public transport don’t keep disabled people in mind, especially people using wheelchairs. Even if ramps are provided somewhere, a major complaint is that those ramps are not properly built according to the regulations, which makes going up and coming down the ramp a challenge.

The design of wheel chairs started with an Internet study to know the current scenario of wheelchairs. A market study was carried out to know the present manufacturers available in India. For a better understanding of the products available on the market, I have done comparisons between the existing products. An ethnography study was done by myself as a user to observe the problems of the existing product and to address the design gap in the existing product to meet the user's needs. The feedback that was taken from actual users and attendees was also considered for concept generation and design execution. The final output is a wheel chair that must provide ease of manoeuvrability to the user by providing better transportability and transferability.
