From Local Innovation to Global Impact: SpeechGears India Honored as a "Make in India Legend"

From Local Innovation to Global Impact: SpeechGears India Honored as a "Make in India Legend" Award 2026

New Delhi, February 13, 2026 – marked a historic milestone in the journey of SpeechGears India. At the prestigious "Make in India Legends" event held at The Park Hotel, New Delhi, we were immensely proud to be recognized as a frontrunner in the Indian manufacturing sector.

Organized by Jagran and powered by ICC Media, the event celebrated the extraordinary leaders whose journeys embody the spirit of innovation, self-reliance, and nation-building. For SpeechGears, this was not just an award ceremony; it was a validation of our core mission: to design and manufacture world-class Autism, Speech Therapy and Occupational Therapy tools right here on Indian soil.

A Recognition of Excellence

The event was graced by the esteemed presence of Chief Guest Smt. Annpurna Devi (Hon’ble Union Cabinet Minister of Women and Child Development) and Guest of Honor Mr. Nityanand Rai (Hon’ble Minister of State for Home Affairs).

Standing amongst the titans of industry, SpeechGears was spotlighted for its pivotal role in the specialized healthcare manufacturing sector. As seen in the event coverage, Smt. Annpurna Devi highlighted a powerful sentiment: "We are moving from 'Make in India' to 'Made for World'." This vision perfectly mirrors the trajectory of SpeechGears.

Revolutionizing Therapy Tools: The SpeechGears Way

For years, the Indian market for autism, speech and occupational therapy tools was heavily reliant on expensive imports. SpeechGears India took up the challenge to change this narrative. We didn't just want to assemble products; we wanted to design them.

Being recognized as a "Leader of the Industry" at this event underscores our success in:

  • Indigenous Manufacturing: We have established ourselves as a major manufacturing hub, creating high-quality tools such as TalkTips, oral motor therapy kits and sensory integration tools that meet international standards.

  • Design Innovation: Our R&D team works tirelessly to create ergonomic, child-friendly, and effective designs tailored to the specific needs of the Indian demographic while appealing to the global market.

  • Accessibility: By manufacturing in India, we have significantly lowered the cost of essential therapy tools, making them accessible to clinics, schools, and parents across the nation.

The Voice of Leadership

During the event, our leadership took to the podium to address the gathering of industry stalwarts. It was a moment to articulate our commitment to the special needs community.

As the Founder of SpeechGears, I started this journey with one powerful belief: communication is a basic human right. Every child deserves the chance to express, connect and be understood. Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder where communication and socialization are major challenges. I have seen firsthand how these difficulties affect not just the child, but the entire family. And I have also seen the transformation that happens when the right tools, therapy, and support are provided at the right time. Through SpeechGears, we proudly stand with the “Make in India” initiative not just to manufacture in India, but to create meaningful, life-changing solutions here at home. Our mission goes beyond products. We empower therapists. We support parents. We build confidence in children who are often underestimated.

“We don’t just work on autism, we work on hope.

We don’t just design solutions, we build futures.”

For me, SpeechGears is not a business. It is a commitment to changing families, unlocking potential, and helping every child rise,communicate and become extraordinary in their own unique way.

Looking Ahead

The recognition by the Jagran Coffee Table Book (JCTB) as a "Make in India Legend" is not the finish line—it is a launchpad. As we move forward into 2026, SpeechGears India remains dedicated to expanding our manufacturing capabilities.

We define what it means to be Atmanirbhar (Self-Reliant) in the healthcare sector. We are SpeechGears India—designing for today, manufacturing for the future, and taking Indian innovation to the world.
