Ability Bazaar is not a cold start. It unifies two Vision-Aid initiatives that already work - and gives them one accessible storefront.
Apps
PwD-led teams design, build and deliver custom web, mobile and AI applications for any business need - accessible by default, because accessibility expertise is on the team, not bolted on. The catalogue already includes the voice-first SEP AI Tutor, with Arohi and Nidra close behind.

Live - anchor app
Speak English with confidence.
A voice-first AI tutor for spoken-English practice, designed with and for visually impaired learners in Vision-Aid's Spoken English Program. Conversational coaching with support for more than 12 Indian coaching languages.
Pilot in scoping
Our next institutional app.
Built by the Vision-Aid AI Development Center, with the American India Foundation (AIF) as a prospective first institutional customer. Pilot scoping is underway.
Working prototype
A prototype with commercial promise.
A working prototype from the AI Development Center, identified as a candidate for commercialization. Now being evaluated for the Ability Bazaar launch catalogue.
App stores exist. AI builders exist. None of them are disability-led - and that changes everything.
Real needs come from lived experience; PwD creators and testers shape what gets built and share in the economic value.
No one should learn a new interface for every app. Voice-first, screen-reader-friendly interaction is built into the platform.
Users submit unmet needs; AI groups recurring requests; creator teams respond with reusable solutions.
The App Builder Agent converts a plain-language problem into a draft workflow, prompts, outputs, guardrails and listing.
PwD testers validate usefulness, accessibility and safety before publication. The open marketplace follows only after standards are proven.
Creators earn from commissions, sponsored challenges, enterprise builds and professional portfolios.
Ability Bazaar is a working business - real customers, real revenue and AI-native operations. Every order ships value: paid work for testers, income for creators, and useful, accessible tools for the community.
