Xavier’s college Calcutta, first blind MBA (HR)from Symbiosis (SCMHRD, Pune) and was instrumental in creating reservation quota for person with disability in Indian Universities and colleges. I am a proud recipient of various award such as President of India award, State role model award, etc. Some of my proud moments including visit with Honourable PM Shri Narendra MdiJI, former President of India Late DR. APJ Kalam, etc. I am currently an Associate director with Pwc India and my quick video profile could be viewed by simply clicking here.
I also run completely blind folded without any physical assistance relying only on verbal road direction issue by buddy runner and have achieved Asia book of record along with India book of record on Dec 18, 2022 at Kolkata, India. Please visit 3 minutes video to understand how I run in action: please click here.
My aspiration is to achieve world Guinness record in TMM2025 and striving diligently to achieve the same. I will be running 21KM (HM) on Jan21, 2024 at TMM24. May I request you to leverage your network and connect me with print/ electronic media to do a story on this with an objective of spreading my message of embracing fitness and creating awareness on power of self-belief. This would also enable me to find a sponsor for world Guinness records there is high cost of over Rs. 8lac associated with it.
Looking forward to hear from you."
