Trimble, IIT Madras Join Hands to Donate 20 Custom Wheelchairs

Trimble has partnered with the National Centre for Assistive Health Technologies (NCAHT) at IIT Madras to support inclusive mobility through the donation of 20 custom-fitted wheelchairs. Backed by an initial ₹15 lakh contribution, the lightweight (9 kg) wheelchairs are tailored to individual needs and rival high-end imports in quality. 

Recipients will be selected through a structured process including assessments, prescription, and training to ensure long-term usability. 

“At Trimble, we believe accessibility is fundamental... Through this partnership with IIT Madras, we hope to support individuals who are often overlooked,” said Rajan Aiyer, VP & MD, Trimble India. 

“Technology can create meaningful change only when it is inclusive and human-centric... Every wheelchair delivered is a step toward a society where mobility is not a privilege, but a right,” said Prof V Kamakoti, Director, IIT Madras. 

NCAHT, housed within the TTK Centre (R2D2), will oversee distribution in the coming months through hybrid outreach formats.
