With this year’s theme of Design, Develop, Deliver, we thought: Why not hand over the power of design to those who understand accessibility not just as a concept, but as a lived experience?

Fresh out of our new UI/UX batch, these young designers are stepping into the world of design with perspectives shaped by their own lived experiences. This Global Accessibility Awareness Day, we wanted to hand over the chance to design to the very people who understand why accessibility matters beyond just theory. 💙

P.S: Designed by Subhashini V from Batch 3, Ui/Ux, Atypical Academy

Living with a locomotor disability came with its own set of challenges. For Tarun, simple things were often difficult due to his height and the limitations in both his hands. But somewhere deep within, he always held on to one belief, that his disability should never define the size of his dreams. Today, he's proud to begin a new chapter as a Software Engineer 2 at Honeywell.

“This opportunity is more than just a job for me as it represents independence and the countless moments of resilience that brought me here. I am deeply grateful to Atypical Advantage for believing in the potential of persons with disabilities and for creating opportunities that truly empower lives.” When we asked him to share a message, he said, “To every person with disability reading this: Your journey may not be easy, but your dreams are still valid. With patience, self-belief, and consistent hard work, it is absolutely possible to build the future you deserve.”

TATA Power curated a thoughtfully designed Autism Awareness initiative by empowering 6 artists across 4 locations. In Chennai, Arpith Ashok facilitated tote bag and mandala art, while R Kedhar created a striking wall mural. In Mumbai, Shreya Gupta led a mandala art activity, Ananya Halarnkar engaged participants through singing and keyboard, and Nehal Tiwari conducted a stone art workshop, each artist contributing meaningfully to the larger narrative of inclusion and awareness.

In Bangalore and Bhubaneshwar, tile art activity was conducted by our artists Gayatri and R.Kedhar respectively. The session opened with an insightful talk on autism and as it progressed, individuals immersed themselves in the creative process of tile painting. The CSR Head remarked, “If Raja Ravi Verma were alive, he would have hugged the artists,” a powerful acknowledgment of their talent and expression.

At just 13 years old, Dr. Malvika Iyer’s life changed in a split second. What looked like an ordinary object lying in her garage in Bikaner turned out to be a live gr***de left behind after a nearby ammunition depot fire. The explosion that followed left her with life-altering injuries, she lost both her hands and suffered severe damage to her legs. Months of surgeries, pain, and rehabilitation followed. Yet, in the middle of that struggle, Malvika made a quiet but powerful decision: she would not let this accident define her future. While still recovering, she appeared for her Class 10 board exams with the help of a scribe and scored an extraordinary 97%, proving that her determination was stronger than her circumstances. Then she went on to study at St. Stephen’s College, Delhi, pursued higher education in social work, and eventually earned a PhD.

Today, Dr. Malvika Iyer is a globally recognized disability rights activist, motivational speaker, and advocate for inclusion, using her voice to challenge stereotypes and inspire millions. Through her collaborations with leading brands via Atypical Advantage, Dr. Malvika has empowered and motivated diverse employee bases, driving meaningful conversations around accessibility and inclusion.

Across six government schools in Delhi, learning found a new canvas through Learning Initiatives For India. Each wall, spanning 100 square feet, was transformed into a vibrant mural under the theme “पढ़ेगा हर बच्चा, बढ़ेगा हर बच्चा,” (Padhega har bacha, bhadega har bacha) turning classrooms into powerful reminders of possibility. At the heart of these murals stands a flourishing tree, whose branches spread playfully with children reading, learning, and dreaming. The mural reflects how education nurtures young minds, helping them rise stronger and reach new heights.

This transformation was brought to life by our talented artists, Budh Singh and Sandeep Kumar Nayak, whose thoughtful ex*****on has reimagined these school walls as spaces of inspiration for every child who walks past them. Adding a deeply personal touch to this journey, students from the Bharola centre created heartfelt greeting cards for Sandeep, small gestures filled with gratitude that made the experience not just impactful, but truly unforgettable.

From a high-energy doodling workshop at Deloitte to a calming stone art session with KAE Capital, art became more than an activity, this week. And while creativity sparked conversations in boardrooms, Tarun shattered barriers by beginning his journey as a Software Engineer 2 at Honeywell, proving that a locomotor disability can never limit ambition.

15 walls. Countless stares turned into conversations.

Hindustan Coca-Cola Beverages Private Limited partnered with artists with disabilities to transform ordinary spaces into something impossible to ignore and the result is bigger than art.

It’s representation painted loud enough for the world to finally notice. 🎨✨

Ankita Patel was not born with a disability; she acquired it later during a hair treatment that left her with low vision. Studying became difficult, and eventually led her to stop her education after the 12th. But in the middle of it all, another passion was quietly finding its place in her heart: Singing. When a major group singing competition was announced, Ankita repeatedly called the organizers, asking for just one chance to perform solo since she didn’t have a group to participate with. Every call ended in rejection, until one member finally agreed. On the day of the competition, she waited through the entire event without hearing her name. Just when she thought the opportunity had slipped away, she was finally called on stage.

With no music and no instruments, she sang with only her raw voice. The auditorium fell silent, and then erupted into loud cheers. People rushed to take her contact details, and that moment became the turning point of her journey as a singer. Today, Ankita runs a music academy with her husband, nurturing the dreams of more than 130 students. The girl who once waited for a chance to sing now creates countless chances for others.
