What does it mean to live in a wheelchair after a spinal cord injury? A rare conversation with Prateek Khandelwal reveals the emotions that go behind loss of physicality. Hear his vision of building an accessible world for the inaccessible.
Prateek Khandelwal is the Founder & Managing Director of RampMyCity, IBTB. He is also a social entrepreneur and TEDx Speaker. After suffering paraplegia due to a Spinal Cord Injury in 2014, not only have I made a significant recovery, I have found 2 of India's one of a kind start-ups to improve the quality of living of the physically challenged across the country so that they can participate and contribute fully in the social, cultural, recreational and economic life of India.
a) RampMyCity: An accessibility initiative providing inclusivity through ramps and adequate human training.
