Speaking at the Disability Expo on ""Unleashing Potential: Redefining Workforce Diversity through Inclusive Employment"

I will be speaking at the Disability Expo, an event that brings together the brightest minds and innovative solutions in the realm of disability inclusion and accessibility. I will be attending remotely from India!

My talk, titled "Unleashing Potential: Redefining Workforce Diversity through Inclusive Employment," will delve into the heart of a critical issue that too often goes unaddressed: the persistent inequalities faced by the disability community, especially within the Global South.

I have seen first-hand the amplified challenges, hardships and struggles not limited to the physical realm but also to disabilities that are not apparent, often overlooked and misunderstood.

We live in a world where our workforce is a rich tapestry of talents and potential. Yet, we also live in a world where those with disabilities are often sidelined, our talents untapped, and our voices unheard. The reality of this inequality has been further exacerbated in the wake of the global pandemic, especially in the Global South, leading to an urgent need to redefine and reimagine our approach towards inclusive employment.
