Refusing to accept abuse, she left her in-laws and returned to her village in Odisha, only to face humiliation from her own community.

Determined to build a better life, Santoshi moved to Tamil Nadu, found work in a spinning mill, and gave birth to her daughter in 2012.
Inspired by a woman driving an auto-rickshaw in Chennai, she saved diligently and, by 2015, bought her first auto-rickshaw.

In 2017, Santoshi moved to Bhubaneswar. She enrolled her daughter in a government school and drove auto-rickshaws to make ends meet.

Inspired by an open-ended assignment, the duo envisioned a map that would transcend the limitations of traditional visual representations.
“We wanted to do more than just talk about inclusion,” Das told The Hindu. “We wanted to actively enhance accessibility for all.”

The map, a 5' x 3.5' wooden board, is a masterpiece of tactile design.
