ConveGenius Launches ‘Gift of Sight’ Initiative To Bridge Learning Gap Amongst Students

At ConveGenius.AI, Diwali means more than lighting diyas—it’s about lighting up lives. This year, their 500+ team members embraced the spirit of the festival by offering something truly transformative—the Gift of Sight. Through their ‘Gift of Sight’ campaign, ConveGenius kick-started a country wide initiative to empower students with clear eyesight and bridge the learning gap across India. 
ConveGenius’s AI-driven reading assessments on their SwiftChat platform had recently uncovered a challenge that extended beyond literacy—many students struggled due to uncorrected vision issues. Motivated by these findings, the team launched the campaign to provide these children with custom-made spectacles, bringing clarity not just to their view of the world but to their studies.

Studies like those from The Lancet Global Health Commission show that up to 80% of a child’s learning is visual, so poor eyesight can quietly erode confidence and success in the classroom. ConveGenius’s Gift of Sight initiative, therefore, isn’t just about glasses—it’s about empowering these students to learn and grow without barriers.

As part of this initiative, the first eye-screening camp was organised for over 5,000 students across Gujarat, providing much-needed eyeglasses to help overcome a silent barrier to learning.

“Clear vision is fundamental to a child’s journey in education, and we’re dedicated to removing any obstacles to ensure that every child has the opportunity to succeed,” shares Jairaj Bhattacharya, Co-founder and Managing Director of ConveGenius. “Together, let’s make this Diwali a celebration of change, potential, and possibility,” Bhattacharya continues.

The impact of initiatives like this stretches beyond immediate educational benefits. As Amartya Sen states in Development as Freedom, “ill health is a major cause of poverty, as it restricts both physical productivity and the acquisition of skills.” In the long term, providing children with the necessary healthcare tools to succeed in their education directly influences their future earning potential and, by extension, the nation’s economic strength. Improved health outcomes among students lead to a skilled and empowered workforce, which in turn drives economic development and poverty alleviation.

For the ConveGenius team, this campaign was more than an act of kindness—it was a reflection of their mission to empower children with resources to thrive. Each team member chose to sponsor a child’s eye checkup and eyeglasses, knowing that this small gesture could brighten a student’s future in profound ways.

As children received their glasses, joy lit up their faces, a moment that resonated deeply with the ConveGenius team. This Diwali, ConveGenius did more than provide eyeglasses—they opened up new possibilities for these students, enabling them to read, learn, and see their dreams with newfound clarity.
