Oswald Foundation is accessibility technology company based in New Delhi, India that build products for individuals suffering from disabilities.[1] It was established in 2016 by then 18-year-old Anand Chowdhary and 15-year-old Nishant Gadihoke after their product, Oswald Extension[2], won an event at the AngelHack hackathon in New Delhi.[3][4][5] In an interview with The Huffington Post, Chowdhary said that he believes "Oswald can enable a Web 4.0 -- a web centered around accessibility and equality".[6][7]

History

Chowdhary and Gadihoke started working together as students at The Mother's International School, as part of their computer club, MINET, of which Chowdhary was President.[8][9] Chowdhary shared his idea of developing an accessibility tool with Gadihoke, and they decided to develop the extension during the AngelHack Delhi 2016.[10] The tool is based on independent research done by the British Dyslexia Association and the World Wide Web Consortium.[11]
