Inclusive Planet is hiring! One of the most exciting social ventures in the world is looking for a young engineering graduate from a leading university (IITS, NITS etc.) to work on its core product offering

Who we are and what is our product inclusiveplanet.com is an online platform that enables persons with print-impairment to connect with each other, share accessible content and build conversations and communities around these shared experiences. In short, inclusiveplanet.com enables the print-impaired to come together to solve their greatest challenges.

The site launched in October 2009 and already has nearly 4000 users from more than 75 countries. What we are doing is unique in many ways. We are building a technology platform designed from the ground up for people with print impairments. Standard solutions do not apply.

Responsibilities:

· Develop a strong understanding of our design and product philosophy.
