Samarth by Hyundai initiative
Samarth is an initiative driven by Hyundai Motor India, which aims towards creating a more aware and inclusive society for people with disabilities in India.
With technology, partnerships, product innovations, and storytelling, Samarth is about turning the world into a level-playing field for all. Because disabilities that some of us have to live with should not define how we live, or what we can - or cannot - achieve.

Samarth is also an initiative to change mindsets and spark change. A change that will make the world see the true capability of the people with disabilities.
A shift that will make everyone push as one for a more equitable and inclusive environment. Helping create a world where we can all grow into the best versions of ourselves.
Together, through mobility and for humanity.
