December at Atypical Advantage is never just a month. It's a reminder of why we do, what we do 🎀

Boardrooms turned into spaces of reflection. Leaders stepped out of roles and into lived experiences. Artists, students, employees, and allies came together, not just to celebrate, but to understand disability better.

As we close the final chapter of 2025, cheers to every lessons learned, every connections built, and the collective belief that inclusion is not an initiative, but a continuous action 🤝

This is our December. And this is the story we’re excited to share, one last time this year.

It began with a .

PwC India’s corridors came alive with our first-ever flash mob, carrying the story of "IDPD at PwC" to every corner of the office. Curiosity drew people in, and just when all eyes turned to the stage, Shibani, our singer with visual impairment, took the mic. Her melodious voice filled the room and the audience stood in quiet support, when a PwC employee joined her mid-performance and the message became clearer: We’re in this together.

The employees engaged, challenged and answered through Screen vs. Seen and the Lip Reading Challenge. The experience deepened further with the wheelchair maze, where familiar pathways suddenly felt difficult to navigate, revealing barriers often overlooked. As reflections started coming in, the feedbacks were captured on a canvas, beautifully created by Archana, an artist with hearing impairment.

The day came full circle when a PwC employee with hearing impairment joined virtually, sharing his gratitude for the inclusive environment PwC has created for him. "It was truly a pleasure to collaborate with your team and co-create such an impactful experience. We deeply appreciate the effort and energy your team brought to the sessions and their engagement made the conversations meaningful and memorable. Looking forward to continuing this association and building on the momentum we’ve created together," said Munmun Sen, D&I Leader, PwC India.

This December, Aditya Birla Capital sparked real reflection and lasting change.

The first was a session with focused on hiring and working with persons with disabilities, led by Laharee ., Head of Inclusive Hiring at Atypical Advantage. While conversations like these are important and familiar to us, what truly set this one apart was the audience. Managers leaned in, spoke up, asked questions, and shared reflections openly. The room was alive with intent.

And the said it all: “Excellent session, Laharee.”, “Very impactful, thank you for leading this cause.” And our personal favourite: “Thanks a lot, I’ll be more sensitive towards differently abled persons from now onwards.” This is exactly what we strive for. A shift that doesn’t wait for tomorrow, but starts now.

Adding another powerful layer to this journey, Aditya Birla Capital invited Pranav, India's first male model with , to address more than 250+ during Week. Through his deeply personal story of living with an invisible disability, Pranav challenged the room to move from pity to empathy. His message was clear: rights and awareness already exist, what we now need is implementation and inclusive systems.

Priya Singh, Chief Deputy Manager, DEI at Aditya Birla, shared: "When Pranav said 'Autism is not a disability, it’s my superpower,' it changed my perspective." which proves that sometimes, view points doesn’t change through long sessions or heavy theory, but just one powerful sentence.

This Christmas, concepts took a wild, wonderful turn 🤪

Humans transformed into books, coming alive as a human library filled with real stories and lived experiences. Ordinary entrance doors became unexpected canvases, splashed in bold Christmas colours. And leaders? They flipped on accessibility tools on their phones, only to realise how challenging it can be to navigate the world when you don’t know how to switch them off.

Building on steady progress in inclusive hiring, NIVEA INDIA organised a thoughtful and highly interactive panel discussion hosted by Vineet Saraiwala, Founder & CEO of Atypical Advantage. The conversation dove into the real hiring journey of Beiersdorf India: what has changed, what still needs work, and how 's can shape a more inclusive future.

And then stories took centre stage through The Human Library: a concept rooted in connection and lived experience. Divided into small groups, leaders, employees, and artists came together for conversations that were honest and vulnerable.

From Rashmi’s journey of funding her own cochlear implant, to Sachin’s success in the advertising world. From Nehal’s flourishing stone art business while navigating stigma, to Zuhaib’s soul-touching performances, every story challenged . And in those moments, everyone realised that while each person lives a different story, the feeling of connection remains universal.

And towards the end, they all left their marks. On a canvas, yes. But in each other’s hearts? A hundred times yes.

The Nivea team thoroughly enjoyed this experience, and we look forward to continuing to build many more such meaningful and inclusive initiatives together.

Imagine having the talent, the knowledge, and the drive to succeed yet being turned away from opportunities. Not because of lack of capability, but because of stigma. The belief that persons with disabilities don’t belong in corporate spaces still holds too many back.

But some brands are choosing to challenge this narrative and they’re winning. Why? Because when you open doors to diverse talent, you unlock fresh perspectives, stronger ideas, and real innovation.

Meet Raksh*t, an ambitious student from Indian Institute of Management, Indore, now placed with a leading FMCG company. We congratulate him on this milestone and wish him continued success in the journey ahead.

This year, Christmas arrived early. 🥰

Across ten Mad Over Donuts stores in the country, storefronts were transformed into a Christmas wonderland. Not with printed décor, but through the creativity and talent of ten artists with disabilities, each bringing their own imagination to life. Across Mumbai, Pune, Delhi, and Kolkata, MOD’s glass façades came alive with festive cheer, painted in the true colours of inclusion.

Snowflakes danced across the glass. Santa peeked out with a smile. Christmas caps rested playfully on donuts, while reindeer, stars, and ornaments came alive, woven seamlessly with Mad Over Donuts’ iconic donut motifs.

Customers paused a little longer at the door to take in the magic, and the artists smiled a little wider as their work was admired. As glimpses poured in from across cities, we couldn’t help but smile too. Different locations, different hands, but the same warmth shining through. Ten stores. Ten artists. One shared festive spirit spreading across the country.

This is the kind of Christmas cheer we believe in: The kind that starts early and stays long after the decorations come down. And if you look closely, right there on the glass, you’ll see it too.

Thank you, Mad Over Donuts, for creating this beautiful opportunity for our artists.

The work is displayed at the following MOD stores:

* Shivaji Park (Dadar), Mumbai
* Colaba, Mumbai
* Waterfield Road (Bandra), Mumbai
* Vile Parle, Mumbai
