We are happy to present Anucool – a brand that offers easy-to-wear apparel for elders and persons with disabilities.

Many of the elders we reached out to had expressed a need for such a solution. Individuals recovering from a stroke, incontinence issues, Parkinson’s tremors, frozen shoulders, persons in the post-operative recovery phase and more importantly care-givers who have to handle such patients can greatly benefit from this brand. Statistically, 2.08% of the Indian adult population suffers from some version of locomotor disability – and 50% of them live in Tier 1, 2 and 3 cities.

In our quest to look for solutions for a wide audience of elders, we connected with Ms. Nalini – Co Founder – Anucool. Key takeaways from the discussion:

Easy-to-wear apparel, also popularly known as Adaptive Clothing is a practical solution for individuals recovering from surgery or injury, people with compromised mobility – be it temporary or permanent, aged seniors, wheelchair users, and such.
