Who is Srikanth Bolla?
Srikanth Bolla is an inspiration to many. Despite being visually impaired, he founded Bollant Industries, a company that empowers individuals with disabilities. Bollant provides meaningful employment opportunities while creating eco-friendly products. Srikanth's story is a testament to the power of perseverance and the positive impact that inclusive businesses can have on society.
Born into a rural Indian family, Bolla refused to be limited by his disability. Despite facing immense discrimination and exclusion from society, he continued to pursue education. This remarkable drive made him the first international blind student to be accepted by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
According to reports, Srikanth is about Bolla, his struggles, the challenges he faced and succeeding in creating a niche.
