History

The company was founded in 2016 by Neha Arora, an electronics and communication engineering graduate. Her mother has polio from childhood and is a wheelchair-user while an infection rendered her father visually impaired when he was in college. There were instances when the family had traveled 1,000-2,000 miles only to realize that the place was not accessible. When she reached out to find the solution, she found none.[2]

After spending 2 years researching and conducting feasibility studies, she quit her job with Adobe Inc. in November 2015 to start Planet Abled on January 1, 2016.[3]
