Dear Rahul, We apologize for the inconvenience, however we request you to email smartcane's email address or sakshams info address directly in the future, as Saksham is partnered with 18 other organizations for the distribution of SmartCane. Kindly inform us, if the device will be used you in US or is it a gift to someone in Pune?
We have not yet released the devices outside India, except that it has been tested by two persons associated with RNIB London. We have received a positive feedback from them. We are resolving a few issues related to international release 1. A SmartCane user will be able to reap the full benefits of the device though a short training session, helping them to get started. Even within India, we are tying up with organizations rather than directly selling. These organizations act as our distributors while providing training. In each of these organizations we have a few trainers (already trained) who in turn orient the users. For the current status of our channel partners http://smartcane.saksham.org/availability/ 2. The second issue concerns the white cane being supplied by us. Note our sensor is a detachable unit on a standard white cane. Our international feedback (from RNIB) is that the quality of the cane being included with the product is may not be adaptable in different geographic setting. As these canes are being used by visually impaired in India and are economical, as well as compatible with the developing nations, we are distributing the device with this cane in India. On the other hand for International customers, we are working with Ambutech to try and test the product with their canes. Initial results are positive but we would have the testing completed within a month or so and then the product would be released with Ambutech canes for International customers. Of course the cost would be higher as the Ambutech canes are much more expensive. In the mean time, if you are aware of any organization in your area (USA) who may be interested in becoming our channel partner, we would be happy to talk to them. -- Regards, Anwesha Choudhuri SmartCane Saksham 486 Double Storey, New Rajinder Nagar, New Delhi – 110 060, India Helpline : +91-11-64650655 Website : www.smartcane.saksham.org Email : smartc...@saksham.org On Wed, Jul 2, 2014 at 6:27 PM, Divyanshu Ganatra <dngana...@gmail.com> wrote: > Dear All, > My friend in US is trying desperately to order the newly launched > Smart cane.
