One Mission Triggered by One Idea A rainy day encounter in 1987 changed the life of Kenny Chen, Karma's founder. It also led to the birth of an international brand. One gloomy afternoon during the rainy season in Taipei, Kenny noticed a woman struggling to fit her father’s wheelchair into the trunk of her car. He stopped to offer his help. The wheelchair was heavy-- difficult even for a strong man like him to lift. Even more frustratingly, after all the effort of trying to squeeze in the wheelchair, the chair proved too unwieldy to allow the trunk to close. Kenny couldn't forget the despair of this woman, soaked in the rain and being splashed by noisy passing traffic, or the weight and the clumsiness of her father's wheelchair. "Did it really have to be this way? Couldn't wheelchairs be better?" Drawing on his background in industrial engineering and management, Kenny started 「 KARMA康揚 」, committing himself and his company to improving the lives and the futures of the physically challenged and helping them live out loud.
