The Symbionic Story
Our Vision, Journey & Team
A Dream to
Change the World
I was 24 years old when I met with a catastrophic accident that changed the course of my life. The accident led to the amputation of my right arm. But instead of allowing it to put a full stop to my dreams, I decided to leverage my pain to build a better world.
It was striking, that despite such extraordinary technology advancement around the world, millions of people like myself are unable to find a solution. This lit a fire in me as I decided to build Symbionic along with my Co-founder & CTO Niranjan Kumar.
What began as a small group of young hackers & engineers has grown to include engineers, prosthetists, social workers, and designers – along with an incredible group of doctors, clinicians, and non-profits working in the developing world.
~ Rishi Krishna, CEO & Co-founder, Symbionic
Vision
Through developments in bio-integrated technology, Symbionic is redefining what it means to be human. This is accomplished not only through technical discoveries in bionic prosthetic devices, but also by making them more accessible than ever before. We expect our technologies to merge flawlessly with the human neuromuscular system in the next ten years.
Mission
At Symbionic we want to enable a million lives by building high tech and affordable bionics. We aim to help people with limb difference achieve functional independence and feel more confident about themselves.
