#DiversityDialogue - Preeti Chaudhary hosts Sumit Agrawal, Founder, PR Signal

In India, 2.68 Cr persons are disabled which is 2.21% of the total population To assist this demographic meaningfully, I have partnered with AIC RAISE & Atal Incubation Centre, BIMTECH & And 💥 LAUNCHED INDIA'S FIRST Accelerator EXCLUSIVELY & ONLY for People With Disabilities = SELF RELIANCE, FINANCIAL INDEPENDENCE & ECONOMIC FREEDOM in the 75th year of India's Independence 🇮🇳 💥 #LinkedInLive on #linkedin #PCLive #PCTalks #DiversityDialogue - I host Sumit Agarwal, Founder PR Signal - for an entrepreneurial success story from this special community A story of utter grit & determination of how & why, after being in & out of regular hospital & other treatments for 16 long years, for his Cerebral Palsy, he started up & leads his life with dignity & joy each day, along with being a livelihood provider & employment generator for others! Here is some of Sumit's story in his own words: About himself: When within the age of 16 you tend to undergo major surgeries, some of them spanning up to 8 hours You tend to understand the concept of mortality You understand that you have a finite amount of time on this planet You understand that it is not only about your own battles But the victories you win for others Making the world a better place On his support system: I wasn’t always the strong person I am today I was broken, disheartened, cursed my disability. “Why me?” I often wondered But then having a strong and supporting mother makes you realize That if you want to succeed in life, you don’t have the luxury of falling apart On his accidental entrepreneurship: Out of the 3 crore population of persons with disabilities in India, only 34 lakhs of them are actually employed I had to search 3 months for jobs before I finally gave up and became an accidental entrepreneur Not everyone is so ‘lucky’ Where are we lacking as a country? Is it that as Indians we collectively lack empathy? Otherwise, how could we deny someone their basic rights to financial dignity? Jobs should be for everyone Everyone has the right to earn their dignity There is a WHOLE LOT MORE to this young man - please DIVE STRAIGHT IN & hear him share his story!
