At 17, Arnit Dey is building RAADAR, AI-powered echo-location wearables giving the visually impaired affordable independence, blending tech, social impact and youthful drive.
Inspired by his grandmother’s glaucoma, he created a solution. “From patenting the device to leading its development, I’ve built RAADAR to give visually impaired individuals affordable independence,” he explains. He gained his entrepreneurial drive from his parents, who instilled passion, creativity and risk appetite.
Having patented his device, he recently set up a company, describing the process as “quite intense.” The business was accepted into Luxembourg’s Social Business Programme. Participating in networking events and approaching funding, Dey says his biggest challenge is age. “I’ve walked into rooms where the youngest person other than me was three times my age!” he adds, noting it now helps him get a foot in the door.
He plans to continue RAADAR at university in 2026 and collaborate with peers to improve the product. Also a published author and TEDx Youth organiser, he seeks a shift in business priorities. “I hope to be at the forefront of this transformation.” He hopes Forbes Under 30 will help his projects impact many and inspire other young people to make a positive difference.
