Description
In this episode of Eyeway Conversations, George Abraham catches up with Harshit Lohia, who works at the Reserve Bank of India. Harshit's life took a dramatic turn after completing his 12th standard when he fell ill and took medication that triggered Stevens-Johnson syndrome, resulting in the loss of his eyesight. He spent the next year and a half at home, coping with this life-altering condition. Harshit's determination and resilience shone through as he embarked on his educational journey once more. Opting for distance education, he pursued a BA while simultaneously preparing for banking exams. However, his path was not without its challenges, as accessibility during his graduation was limited. His decision to take up banking was influenced by computer instructors who secured jobs in the banking sector at NAB Lucknow, making him realize that opportunities were indeed available to individuals with visual impairments. Harshit emphasizes the significance of technical proficiency for blind and visually impaired individuals. Throughout his journey, Harshit received unwavering support from his family, especially his sister. Beyond his professional pursuits, he is passionate about music, particularly playing the keyboard, and enjoys listening to jokes.
