Founded in 2017 by Kanishka Patel and Raj Shah in Gujarat, WeHear manufactures and sells affordable bone conduction technology hearing aid products.

Kanishka Patel stumbled upon the "life-altering" idea in 2017 during her robotics project work, to enable a deaf child to experience sound.

The child's joyous reaction sparked a change in her.

Driven by this purpose, he launched a hearing aid startup, WeHear, in 2017.

Later, Kanishka joined hands with Raj Shah, an experienced entrepreneur with a shared vision.

WeHear provides a variety of affordable, high-quality hearing aid products.
