In Hyderabad's Hi-Tech City, the startup Makers Hive is making strides in the field of prosthetics with its innovative KalArm, a low-cost, lightweight, 3D-printed myoelectric bionic arm. Priced at less than ₹5 lakh (approximately $6,000 USD), it offers a significant alternative to traditional prosthetics, which can cost between ₹30-40 lakh (roughly $36,000-$48,000 USD). The device features up to 18 different grip patterns, allowing users to perform a variety of tasks, from typing to household chores. Vamsi, a 24-year-old user who lost his arm in a 2017 accident, now works at Makers Hive and credits the bionic hand with restoring his independence. The company, founded by Pranav Vempati, embodies a growing trend in Indian innovation focused on addressing real human challenges, moving away from reliance on expensive imports. With increasing demand, even international patients are turning to Hyderabad for this accessible technology, marking a significant shift in the landscape of prosthetic solutions.
