Changing attitudes towards PwDs I Founder, Nipman Foundation l Director, @ylacofficial @tqh_policy I WEF Young Global Leader I Motivational Speaker l Stephanian

Back from a wonderful trip to the purple fest in Goa. Shall post a thread with more details but must compliment @IndiGo6E for the excellent service they provided both ways!


Presenting the 9th edition of Access Point by @tqh_policy and @NipmanF where we talk about State benefits to marry a disabled person (And why they reinforce stigma?), Challenges with the UDID card and new accessibility standards tqhdisabilityrights.substack.com/p/accesspoint-…


India is massively undercounting its disabled population—leading to smaller budgets, weaker rights, and political invisibility. In our @ThePrintIndia piece, we argue why disability questions in the census must be overhauled to meet global standards.

'No Indian Census has counted the disabled population right' Nipun Malhotra @nipunmalhotra, Director, and Harshita Kumari, Analyst, The Quantum Hub, write #ThePrintOpinion theprint.in/opinion/indian…



Big thanks to @Radhika_Khera for joining the Paperback Monster podcast 🎙️ Truly admire the honesty with which you shared your journey—from life transitions to your move to BJP. From tackling ‘vote chori’ to the challenges women face in politics, it was a riveting conversation.

कुछ बातें किताबों में नहीं मिलतीं, उन्हें जीना पड़ता है। और कुछ बातें… इन तस्वीरों में छिपी हैं 📸 When words flow, time disappears. These pictures caught a few seconds of it. Across from @nipunmalhotra I wasn’t just answering questions… I was dodging landmines 🎙️
