I'm Sravani Ramachandran. I have done my done MBA in HR. I met with an accident 12 years ago because of which I am a paraplegic - which means that my spinal cord is cut because of which I am paralyzed chest down and need to use a wheelchair for my mobility. I am currently working with Infosys as a part of the CIS, HR team.
Being an innate optimist, I have not let my disability come in the way of my pursuits and have gone behind many an interest and am continuing to do that. I am an amateur artist, working on exploring many a media and trying ardently to get better at it In the last few years, I have been working on giving other differently abled artists a platform to showcase their talent and let their ability speak for them.
They say, " Falling down is an accident; staying down is a choice". Things changed very drastically post my accident. But I have not let my disability become a hurdle in my pursuits.
I believe in “looking beyond” the disability and recognising the ability of people and hence have been working on initiatives which would bring this ability to the fore. I intend to reach out to a bigger pool of such differently abled but talented artists and give them a bigger and better platform to showcase their amazing talent to the world out there. The fact that I am not letting my “disability” come in my way of my pursuits and I am able to do all this for the others in the PWD community makes be eligible for this award.
“When you refuse to hide your scars, they become a lighthouse for someone else” I
have been wanting more people with disabilities to explore their creative sides and explore art as a medium. If I were to receive this award, I am sure it would be like a beacon of hope for the many other women with disabilities out there. If I can achieve something like this, so can they! I would network with more women and work on bigger platforms which would bring to light the many hidden talents of the artists and showcase the same to the outside world. On the career front, I have just moved to Infosys, getting back to my area of interest- HR. This award would perhaps speak very strongly for my abilities and would ensure that my new colleagues would look beyond my disability when I am working on proving my mettle there.
