He narrates another experiences in his life wherein for the
first time he met a 7 years old girl who are living without arms, he felt that
he must do something for this child and decided to gift two prosthetic arms so
he approached a company to purchase her two prosthetic arms and it shocked him
to know the cost was 24 lakhs for two arms. He came to find out that there were
nearly 40,000 people every year who lose their arms and currently there are 5
lakh people living without arms in India, which was an eye opener for him.
Hence Prashant decided to give up his studies and create an
affordable electronic prosthetic arm. He researched and found solutions to
reach out to those who need it and created an affordable arm which could be
given free through support from NGO’s or well wishers. He realized that the
poor cannot afford to buy and getting an arm could change their life and help
them to get back to the society.
