About me
As a visionary leader and Global Strategist in the disability and accessibility space, I drive large-scale international collaborations and innovative technology initiatives for EnAble India. My expertise lies at the intersection of global policy, innovation, and technology: International Leadership: I manage key projects like the Disabilities Innovative Solutions Hub (DISH) and lead program design for high-profile global events, including the UN COSP Program in New York. Tech for Good: I manage high-impact accessibility collaborations with major partners like Google (e.g., GPay accessibility, Lookout app) and serve as an Ambassador and Board Member for Equitable AI with the Zero Project, ensuring persons with disabilities are integrated into global AI discussions. Ecosystem Building: I actively mentor start-ups, scale assistive solutions globally, and champion grassroots innovation through programs like the Discovery Awards. Advocacy & Policy: My foundation is built on deep policy work, including contributing to the drafting of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (RPWD) Act. I am committed to fostering an inclusive world through strategic partnerships and accessible technology, leveraging over 15 years of experience in the sector.
