Social Hardware International

Founded in 2017, Social Hardware is a Bengaluru-based startup dedicated to enhancing and protecting lives through innovative technology. Initially focused on assistive devices for underserved communities, the company gained national attention in 2021 with its collaboration with Cadbury Celebrations for the #MyFirstRakhi campaign, providing prostheses that enabled children with upper limb differences to fully engage in the Raksha Bandhan tradition. The prostheses, which offered a sense of touch, were provided at no cost, highlighting Social Hardware’s commitment to inclusivity. The campaign garnered widespread attention, reaching 2.7 crore views on YouTube, and was praised for promoting inclusivity in cultural practices, marking a significant step in making assistive technology more accessible and integrated into cultural traditions in India. Building on its expertise in bionics and prosthetics, the company expanded into field robotics, developing the Eclipse Remote Systems—teleoperated platforms designed for high-risk tasks like bomb disposal and search and rescue. Featuring immersive augmented reality (AR) controls, these systems ensure seamless human-machine interaction, allowing operators to perform hazardous tasks with precision and safety from a distance. Social Hardware is actively seeking industry partners to co-develop new models in the Eclipse Series—each crafted to address specialized needs in high-risk sectors. Organizations interested in exploring how Social Hardware’s Eclipse Series can transform their approach to safety and efficiency are invited to schedule a demo or discuss potential collaborations.
