Founder, Anuprayaas
When I reflect on my journey of connecting and empowering the visually impaired people, I find that the seed of this organization was sown long ago when, as a child, I assisted my visually impaired friend to write his exams. The child in me noticed the challenges faced by the people who were blind. I became compassionate. Well, thanks to my Visually Impaired music teacher who taught me the difference between Sympathy and Empathy. During my corporate years, I got the opportunity to work closely with the people who are blind. My strong desire has always been to make their life a little easier. Now, it is my dream, my mission to make India an Accessible Country.

Anuprayaas means “A Small Effort”. As an organization, we are working for equal rights, equal facilities and equal opportunities for people with disability. As the Co-Founder, I believe that a great Nation is built when its citizens participate equally in its development. What we do as Individuals today, will shape the future of this Country. Anuprayaas is a collective effort of many such Individuals who have been part of this journey. Individuals who have silently played their part and helped us to reach where we are today.
