Jaipur Foot

What Jaipur Foot does

Jaipur Foot, formally associated with Bhagwan Mahaveer Viklang Sahayata Samiti (BMVSS), is a non-profit organization founded in 1975 and headquartered in Jaipur, India, that manufactures and distributes low-cost prosthetic limbs and mobility devices to amputees and differently-abled individuals in developing countries. Its flagship product, the Jaipur Foot below-knee prosthetic, is engineered for conditions common in the Indian subcontinent and other emerging markets: it is water-resistant, allows barefoot walking, climbing, and cycling, and is delivered at a fraction of the cost of comparable Western prosthetics. The organization employs 251–500 staff and operates through a combination of permanent prosthetic limb centres, periodic free camps, and diaspora-supported outreach channels.

The business model is charitable rather than commercial: services are provided at no or minimal cost to end beneficiaries, funded instead by government grants and charitable donations. Jaipur Foot's international footprint is delivered through Jaipur Foot USA, a diaspora-aligned arm that partners with BMVSS, the Government of India, and host-country governments. The most material international expansion to date is the permanent prosthetic limb centre established in Port of Spain, Trinidad & Tobago, in partnership with the Government of Trinidad & Tobago, which followed a 50-day camp that served more than 800 amputees. North American visibility is extended through community partnerships with organizations such as the Rajasthan Association of North America and BRUHUD NY Seniors, co-hosting diplomatic and cultural events with the Indian Consulate in New York.

Core offering

Jaipur Foot designs, manufactures, and distributes the Jaipur Foot — a proprietary below-knee prosthetic device — along with orthotic aids, artificial hands, and other mobility devices to amputees and differently-abled individuals. Services are delivered through permanent prosthetic limb centres (such as the one in Port of Spain, Trinidad & Tobago) and periodic free-fitting camps. The organization's offering is specifically engineered for use in developing-country conditions: the prosthetic is water-resistant, durable, and allows beneficiaries to walk barefoot, climb trees, and ride bicycles, and is provided at low cost or free of charge, funded through government support and charitable donations.
