An
Inclusive Mobility Initiative by the Government of Maharashtra, FUPRO,
Michelin and Tarq Foundation
27 November 2025 | Pune : In a landmark collaborative effort toward inclusive mobility, the
Government of Maharashtra, Michelin Tyres, FUPRO, and Tarq Foundation have
jointly launched the Precision Mobility Health Camp for Persons with Locomotive
Disabilities. The initiative enables scientific hand and foot measurements to
design custom-fit mobility aids advancing not only physical movement, but also
greater independence, participation, and everyday dignity.
Recognised nationally after its appearance on Shark
Tank India, FUPRO is leading innovation in adaptive mobility
solutions designed for underserved communities. This camp marks a significant
expansion of their mission of bringing high-quality, personalized mobility
support directly to individuals who need it most.
Speaking at the launch, Hon. Minister Shri
Chandrakant Patil Ji, Minister of Higher & Technical Education,
Parliamentary Affairs, Government of Maharashtra & MLA, Kothrud
Constituency, emphasised the inclusive vision
behind the initiative:
“Maharashtra is committed to building a state where
innovation reduces barriers. This health camp is a promise that every citizen,
regardless of ability, has the right to dignity, opportunity, and mobility.”
Nimish Mehra, Co-Founder, FUPRO Innovation Pvt.
Ltd., shared the personal roots of this effort:
“FUPRO was born from a very real, emotional place
in my own life. I’ve seen what limited mobility can mean — not just physically,
but emotionally and socially. Mobility is not a device; it is dignity, it is
freedom. This health camp brings solutions built for people, not just around
them.”
Pune Municipal Commissioner, Shri Naval Kishore Ram
Ji, highlighted the role of governance and empathy:
“True development is not measured by infrastructure
alone, but by how we care for people who need greater support. Empathy must
guide every policy, every system, and every partnership like the one we see
here today.”
Lakshana Asthana, Founding Partner, Tarq
Foundation, shared the collective vision behind the
platform:
“People are not defined by what they lack, but by
the opportunities we help unlock. This initiative is a step towards a future
where accessible mobility is not a privilege, but a right. With the Government
of Maharashtra, Michelin, and FUPRO, we’re building an ecosystem that places
dignity and personhood at the center of design.”
The Precision Mobility Health Camp serves
as the foundational step toward building a statewide mobility accessibility
ecosystem. Key components of the initiative include:
- Structured
mobility assessments - Individualized
hand and foot measurements - Design
of custom-fit mobility aids to enhance daily movement
By aligning government vision, corporate
innovation, technological design, and community mobilisation, the
initiative presents a scalable model for inclusion that can be replicated
across India.
