Sunbots Innovations

Founded by Suket Amin , Deep Parmar , Ravi Jadav , and Mohd Faiz , Sunbots Innovations started with autonomous vehicles—until COVID forced a pivot.

One morning, Suket’s wife hit a bathroom door in the dark and he half-jokingly said, “I’ll make you smart glasses to see.” She pushed him to visit an NGO for the blind. That visit changed everything.

Today, SMARTON is an AI-powered app and smart glasses system that helps visually impaired people read documents, navigate independently, and access education—transforming lives one scan at a time.

What are they building?

SMARTON is an AI-powered mobile app paired with optional smart glasses that transforms how visually impaired people access information, education, and daily life.

Whether it’s a college student reading textbooks, a lawyer scanning court documents, or someone navigating a bus station, SMARTON makes the inaccessible accessible

The why?

Sunbots Innovations Team

Suket Amin studied prosthetic hands in the UK. His first internship was building prosthetic hands in India. But he didn’t want to work in assistive tech—so he started Sunbots to build autonomous vehicles instead.

Then COVID hit. The startup was struggling. One morning, Suket’s wife walked into the bathroom door in the dark and screamed. Half-asleep, Suket said: “I’ll make you smart glasses so you can see.”

She was fine after washing her face. But the words stuck with her. She practically forced him to visit an NGO for the blind and see if it could actually help.

Suket lived near an NGO but had never really seen the people there—not the way he saw them after that visit. “The potential, the desire to be someone—I’d never observed that as an outsider,” he explains. “Once I started talking to them, everything changed.”

The team pivoted entirely. They brought in visually impaired employees—because inclusivity starts from within the company. And they listened. Their first B2C customer, a college student, called them every week for eight months with feedback: “Fix this. Add that feature.” They did. And other users started loving it too.

Three years later, that same student has read over 7,000 pages using SMARTON and scored top marks in college. A 45-year-old blind lawyer in Indore uses it to search court documents in real-time, earning ₹10 lakh per year. A former employee used SMARTON to study for competitive exams—and now works at a government bank.

Suket didn’t want to work in assistive tech. But circumstances kept pushing him toward it. And now? He’s grateful he fell into it.

SEED Inclusivity Program Journey

The big moment: going from free to paid without losing users.

January 2026, Sunbots launched B2C subscriptions. They expected 30-40 paid users and massive dropout. They got 52 subscribers with zero marketing. Retention stayed at 37%.

Working with mentor Aditya , Suket learned sprint design. “We’d done so many accelerators, but nobody taught us this. Aditya responded within 24 hours every week. That kept us motivated and focused.”

They set clear goals: community-led demos, 5-7 NGO events monthly, track conversions weekly. They hit every target.
