Why Signify matters
India has millions of Deaf citizens — and very few people who can sign back.
Indian Sign Language is the everyday language of India's Deaf community, yet most hearing people have never learned a single sign. That gap shows up in classrooms, hospitals, shops and homes. Signify exists to close it — free, beginner-friendly and open to everyone.

The communication gap
Deaf Indians routinely rely on family members to translate basic conversations at hospitals, banks and schools.
Few learning resources
ISL courses are often paid, city-based or aimed at professionals — rarely at curious beginners.
