Welcome to the Eyeway Conversations at Spark Carnival 2024. Today, we will witness a compelling panel conversation hosted by George Abraham. The panel featured four inspirational speakers, each with unique stories highlighting their attitudes, aspirations, and actions in overcoming challenges. The conversation began with Bhupendra Tripathi, Assistant General Manager at the Reserve Bank of India. Mr. Tripathi shared his powerful story of battling terminal cancer and paralysis. Despite being given only six weeks to live, he fought the disease with incredible mental stamina and a positive attitude, eventually becoming cancer-free after 12-13 months. Next, Monika Sharma, a Program Manager at Amazon India with 18 years of corporate experience, spoke about the growing opportunities for visually impaired individuals in the corporate world. She highlighted roles in training and development, HR, accessibility testing, and diversity and inclusion initiatives. Monika emphasized the importance of networking through LinkedIn and HR consultants for job seekers with disabilities. Rahul Gambhir from Union Bank of India discussed the bank's efforts to empower visually impaired employees. He shared his personal journey of proving his capabilities and how it led to broader initiatives within the bank. These included specialized training programs, job role circulars, and the "Union Access" project to enhance digital accessibility for employees with disabilities. Lastly, Pramit Bhargava, founder of Louie Voice, explained his mission to create voice-controlled interfaces for mobile apps.
