Since 2008, Techshare India has brought about awareness about the needs of people with disabilities in India.

Techshare India is a National Conference with International participation. It has brought so many conversations to the forefront from web accessibility to digital talking books, from patient moving hoists to accessible ATMs, from screen readers to sign language interpreter relay services, from AAC devices to reading writing tools.

We believe that while we are working on all of these areas, it is time to now look beyond! It's time to look at entertainment and how people with disabilities can enjoy the experience. It is about television and movies. It is about games whether web based, arcade games or then gaming devices.

Techshare India 2012 will build awareness, identify needs, and provide solutions and implementation strategies to create an inclusive environment for people with disabilities.

For almost a decade now Royal National Institute for the Blind (RNIB) UK, has been organizing Techshare. In India, BarrierBreak Technologies is organizing Techshare India since 2008.
