In this episode, we sit down with Sangita Thakur.

An extraordinary individual whose passion for inclusion knows no bounds. 

Sangita has SMA (Spinal Muscular Atrophy) and is also deaf, but she leverages her experiences with disabilities to drive positive change.

She is the Founder of Ashtavakra Accessibility Solutions, a social enterprise focused on DEIB&A for individuals with disabilities.

After over 25 years in the media and communications industry, Sangita paused her career to complete her PhD.

Passionate about mainstreaming the disabled, she advocates for their inclusion right from schools to the workplace. 

She has faced unique challenges throughout their life, but these obstacles only fueled her determination to make the world a more inclusive place.

Now, her mission is clearer than ever: to break down barriers and pave the way for a more accessible and equitable society for all.

Through her endeavors and advocacy work, she's not just advocating for change – but actively shaping it, one step at a time.

Join me as we hear her inspiring story, exploring the driving force behind her passion.
