Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

KC Mehta's life took an unexpected turn in 2013 when his wife of 39 years, Sumi, was diagnosed with younger-onset Alzheimer's disease. KC had little experience in caregiving.

KC devotes his available time for the advocacy of Alzheimer’s disease to reduce the stigma and taboos associated with it and helping others find comfort and solace.
Educated at the University of California, Berkeley, and Walchand College in India, KC holds degrees in Mechanical Design and Mechanical Engineering.
In 2023, KC published a book "My Journey with Sumi" chronicling his caregiving experience. KC also has a website – My Journey with Sumi.
