India has 40 million blind people &amp; only 10% are literate &amp; 70% are unemployed because they don't have access to educational information. So today, I chat to Shyam Shah, the co-founder &amp; CEO of Braille Me. it's a really impressive piece of hardware that plugs into mobile phones &amp; computers to help the visually impaired access the internet and other digital content.  in this episode we talk about how he got started, how it works, plans for the future, thoughts on what makes a great team. What motivates him &amp;  the difficulties of doing a hardware startup and finally some Elon Musk &amp; Narendra Modi chat as well so please enjoy the show. Fact -  I recorded the podcast interview on  4th Jan - The date the Louis Braille - the inventor of Braille was born! What an amazing coincidence!! In this conversation we also talk about:  Great feedback on the device  - "The principal was so happy she arranged a show for us, the students danced &amp; sang songs" Developing for global market Advice on doing your hardware startup Being part of tech incubator Getting good advice Challenges building a prototype First principal thinking  First principles thinking, which is sometimes called reasoning from first principles, is one of the most effective strategies you can employ for breaking down complicated problems and generating original solutions. It also might be the single best approach to learn how to think for yourself. The first principles approach has been used by many great thinkers including inventor Johannes Gutenberg, military strategist John Boyd, and the ancient philosopher Aristotle, but no one embodies the philosophy of first principles thinking more effectively than entrepreneur Elon Musk.  source https://jamesclear.com/first-principles  and much more! links http://innovisiontech.co/ interested in creating your own podcast in 2018?
