You might develop new stereotypes after watching that episode that people with disabilities are strong, opinionated, full of confidence, and with hard work, they can triumph over all adversities.
This story is about celebrating inclusion in a very true sense, says #VineetSaraiwala, who runs #AtypicalAdvantage -- which claims to be India’s largest #inclusive #employment platform for people with disabilities across India.
From making pesticide-free vegetables accessible to reimagining critical care through Tele-ICUs, these amazing #startups are helping India move towards a #better life.
