Built by an amputee.

Hi, I'm Rishi.

In 2018 I was 24, working in a non-profit and dreaming of building my own business. That year I lost my right hand in an accident.

The market had no decent solution at a price an Indian family could afford. So I built one.

Symbionic exists to restore human agency through affordable, functional prosthetics.

We reject the luxury-medical model that prices dignity out of reach. The goal is not only to replace a missing hand. It is a full return to work, family and public life, without debt or dependency.
