Who was Srikanth Bolla?
Srikanth Bolla is an Indian entrepreneur and the founder of Bollant Industries, an organization that employs unskilled and differently-abled individuals to manufacture eco-friendly products. Born visually impaired in 1992 in a small village near Hyderabad, India, Srikanth's life has been an inspiring journey.
Despite being born into a family of farmers in a society where disabilities were often seen as a curse, Srikanth refused to let his visual impairment define his capabilities or limit his ambitions. Facing discrimination and exclusion from the mainstream education system, he fought for his right to education and eventually became the first international blind student to study at the prestigious Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the United States.
Srikanth's entrepreneurial journey began after his return to India, where he aimed to create inclusive employment opportunities for people with disabilities. Srikanth Bolla's story is not just one of personal success but also serves as a powerful example of how determination, education, and inclusive thinking can drive social change. The Rajkummar Rao starrer will pay tribute to his glorious life.
