Don't make the world better. Make it equal & accessible to everyone.
Let's initiate the conversation & support startups and innovators!
The Thought:
I used to study in one of the best engineering institutes in India having one of largest libraries in Asia. The only way to access the library was a staircase connecting the corridor and library. Along with this, the library had a small gate to ensure no theft happens.
I used to wonder how come an institute of such prominence didn’t have a ramp for the differently-abled students. We had a significantly large number of such students who were unable to access the library and used to ask their friends to get books for them.
2 years back when I visited the campus, I strolled towards the library. To my surprise, there was a ramp connecting the corridor to the library along with a larger gate to accommodate wheelchairs.
It was such a pleasant thing to see.
We started The Accessibility Club to initiate the discussions around making the world ‘Equal’ for the differently-abled people.
We want to create an open-hearted community that converses openly and drives the world to innovate.
How do we do this:
Understanding problems: By consistently being in touch with differently-abled friends, understanding the problems they have been facing, and initiating a dialogue, we intend to create an open-hearted community.
Driving Policies: We will constantly be working with various organizations working on accessibility and drive various policy level changes.
Supporting Innovation: Using the network of investors & venture capitalists, we are working closely with founders in the domain to support them with the required capital to make the dent they always wanted to make.
