What H-Vision & Innovations does

H-Vision & Innovations (legal entity: H Vision India Private Limited) is an Ahmedabad, India-based assistive-technology company founded in 2021-2022 by Hasin Vaidya and Kashish Vaidya. The company has developed the Vision Wallet for the Blind & Visually Challenged, a hardware smart wallet that detects Indian currency notes through sensors and provides audio output in Hindi and English to communicate denomination and authenticity status. Its underlying technology relies on sensor-based detection of security features embedded in currency notes — such as magnetic ink, watermarks, or other tactile/physical markers — rather than image processing, enabling counterfeit detection without internet connectivity, camera positioning, or specific lighting conditions.

The company generates revenue through hardware sales of the Vision Wallet, with pricing not publicly disclosed. A 60% subsidy is available through VOSAP (Voice Of Specially Abled People) for blind and visually impaired users with annual income below 300,000 INR, which serves as the company's primary affordability and distribution channel. The company also operates a developing product line — the World's Most Compact Currency Note Checker — aimed at sighted consumers for currency authentication. Distribution is concentrated in India through disability-organization partners (Blind Peoples Association, EnableMart, Saktek Foundation, ATF, SISFS) and regulatory-endorsed channels.

H-Vision has secured multiple recognitions that serve as core credibility assets: the RBI Harbinger Challenge 2024, the NCPEDP Universal Design Award, the RBIH I Innovate Challenge, the Guardian Angel Award (Vishalwin Foundation), and the Indian Achievers Award. The company appears to be founder-owned and bootstrapped beyond India Accelerator participation, with no disclosed equity funding rounds, no headcount data, and no revenue figures publicly available.
