Life has a funny way of showing us our purpose, shaping us through challenges, and leading us to unexpected destinations...From the quaint town of Bazpur in Uttarakhand, where compassion flows like a river, I emerged with a heart full of empathy and a soul yearning to make a difference. Raised by a father whose commitment to justice and helping those in need was unwavering, my childhood was a tapestry woven with lessons of kindness and integrity.My journey commenced in the bustling corridors of Infosys, traversing through sectors that molded my perspective and skills. Yet, it was a serendipitous encounter with Pancham, the visionary behind Anuprayaas, that altered the course of my life. Stepping into a blind school, I witnessed the silent battles fought by those with visual impairments—a humbling experience that ignited a relentless fire within me.In the labyrinth of challenges faced by the visually impaired, we dispelled the veil of sympathy to embrace understanding and support. As we delved deeper into their world, stories unfolded, revealing the intricacies of their daily struggles and unspoken desires.Then came Diwakar's call, a stark reminder of the harsh realities confronting the visually impaired. His tale of missed opportunities and silent sorrows stirred a determination within us to be their beacon of hope.Selected as one of the top 10 Women Entrepreneurs in Impact in India, I embarked on a transformative journey that led me to the shores of Australia—a voyage that fortified my belief in the power of accessibility and inclusion.Envisioning a nation where every railway station echoes with the whispers of inclusivity, we strive to pave the way for a future where no Diwakar is left stranded due to lack of accessibility. Our vision extends beyond railways, aiming to reshape public spaces and societal norms to embrace diversity and equality.In the tapestry of life, our threads of wisdom intertwine, guiding us through the maze of uncertainties and triumphs. Braving storms with humility, embracing change with open arms, and cherishing each moment of growth, we unravel the essence of our existence.Find happiness not in grandeur or opulence but in the silent melodies of a purposeful life—a life dedicated to serving others, nurturing relationships, and evolving into the best version of oneself. Let your goals be the stars that guide you, illuminating the path to a fulfilling and meaningful existence.
