about me

I am having cerebral palsy, hence, a wheelchair user. While I can only type with one finger (my left hand’s index finger).

I have built a successful career as a software tester, with an expertise in web and database testing. I completed my schooling from a special school called ADAPT formerly known as Spastic Society of India. I passed out school in the year 1989, completed my graduation from St. Xavier’s college in 1994, and did my M.A. from Mumbai University in 2004. 

I started working in my current company, Eviden, which is part of Atos, (Formerly Syntel Pvt Ltd now acquired by Atos) which is an MNC from the year 2010. I also focus on activism for accessibility and equality for the persons with disability in India, where there is very little understanding or will to change. 

A thirst bring about a positive change in the disability sector in India culminated to form our NGO Access To Hope along with a very good friend of mine Dr. Sanket Khadilkar a Physiotherapist by profession who happens to share same passion and zeal. 

I wish our society became broadminded about their attitudes towards people with disabilities.  If given an opportunity we can work and be productive. On the other hand, people with disability should not give up easily.  

I believe every accomplishment starts with a decision to try.
