Mobis India Foundation, the CSR arm of Hyundai Mobis in India, has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with NeoMotion, an assistive technology company from IIT Madras to distribute 600 NeoFly wheelchairs and NeoBolt motor-powered attachments to wheelchair users across India.
The project, titled Accessibility & Freedom – Empowering Wheelchair Users with Mobility Assistive Devices, is a ₹6.3 crore mobility empowerment initiative aimed at enhancing independent mobility for individuals with disabilities by providing assistive solutions that enable both indoor and outdoor movement.
Community Development Initiatives
Mobis India Foundation has been actively supporting community development initiatives across healthcare, education, environment, and social inclusion.
Building on its commitment to accessibility and inclusive growth, the foundation partnered with NeoMotion to expand independent mobility solutions for persons with disabilities through this large-scale initiative.
Under this initiative, beneficiaries will receive NeoFly, a personalised wheelchair designed to improve posture, mobility, and accessibility with 18 customization options, enabling users to travel 3-5 times more distance with every push while easily navigating narrow spaces.
It is complemented by NeoBolt, a motor-powered clip-on that converts the wheelchair into a safe, roadworthy mobility device within seconds, offering a top speed of 25 km/h and a range of up to 50 km per charge, enabling independent and affordable outdoor mobility.These products were developed at IIT Madras and are patented.
600 Beneficiaries In Eight States And Union Territories
Through this partnership, 600 beneficiaries across eight states and union territories will receive the devices. The distribution will cover Tamil Nadu (120 beneficiaries), New Delhi (60), Haryana (60), Telangana (90), Andhra Pradesh (90), Madhya Pradesh (60), Maharashtra (60), and West Bengal (60).
Mobis India deputy general manager Huh Min Ho said: “We hope this project not only improves mobility for beneficiaries across multiple states but also enables them to pursue education, employment, and social participation with greater confidence and freedom.”
Largest Mobility Empowerment Initiative
NeoMotion co-founder & chief impact officer Siddarth Daga said: “This partnership with Mobis India Foundation marks NeoMotion’s largest mobility empowerment initiative to date, and we are deeply grateful for the opportunity to create meaningful impact at scale. At NeoMotion, we remain committed to building technology that transforms lives and makes mobility accessible for all.”
