What if we told you inclusion doesn’t look the way you think it does anymore?

It looks like 35+ employees learning a new language at KFC, like art taking over Rashtrapati Bhavan, like universities opening real doors, and workplaces being redesigned from the ground up.

This week’s headlines are a proof that inclusion is finally being done right. Click here to read: https://atypicaladvantage.in/newsletter/inclusion-has-different-faces-and-youll-love-them-all

She proved that life is indeed about trying: Story of Kavita

Kavita was a child with a locomotor disability, and her first challenge came early when a school refused her admission. Growing up, she was often held back from activities “for safety,” which left her wondering, how can anyone decide what I can’t do if I’m never allowed to try?

That question stayed with her when she dreamed of working in Mumbai. People warned her about the challenges of travelling and other associated risks. Yet, she chose to TRY. After many attempts, she got an opportunity with a leading paint manufacturing company. She began navigating the city on her own every day and yes, there were falls, but she got up each time. What built her confidence further was how her team trusted her, treated her equally, and gave her the space to grow. But life was not done testing her.

A ligament injury forced her to pause, and it became one of the toughest phases of her life. Yet, she TRIED again. Through Atypical Advantage, she then got an opportunity at Indian Welfare Trust. Although, people still have their opinions, but Kavita now lives by a simple belief: “You can’t measure your limits until you try.”

Diagnosed with autism at the age of two, Nehal Tiwari often found it difficult to communicate and express herself growing up. As a child, she loved playing with colours and bringing drawings to life on paper and it gave her a sense of calm and joy. Years later, during a workshop in college she stumbled upon something unusual: Stone painting. Began as a simple activity, it soon turned into her passion. She started transforming ordinary pebbles into vibrant works of art, painting everything from landscapes and animals to gods and cartoons.

Over time, her beautifully painted stones gained attention and her creative outlet slowly became a source of making her financially independent. Today, the little girl who once struggled to express herself now speaks her heart through art, painting stories on small pebbles.

What once seemed like a challenge at the start of Varun’s life turned into his greatest strength through persistence and passion.

Diagnosed with Fragile X syndrome, Varun Naren, alongside his mother, discovered a love for baking and went on to start his own bakery, Varun Delights.

And today, every cake he bakes is not just a treat, but a reminder that strength can rise from the most unexpected beginnings.

At Uno Minda Hosur plant, inclusion came dressed up in formals, as candidates with hearing impairment and locomotor disability were hired on the assembly line as NAPs Trainees, each bringing determination and dedication to the shop floor.

Recently, another round of interviews was conducted for a new batch to better understand the candidates, their backgrounds, and their comfort level with the nature of work at the company across two factory locations in Hosur.

The idea is to bring the candidates closer to understanding the workplace and the roles they would be stepping into. In the coming weeks, the company aims to create more livelihood opportunities for candidates with disabilities.

On the occasion of Women’s Day, Aditya Birla Chemicals Mumbai transformed into a space of warmth, expression, and connection. Two mindless art workshops, led by Gayatri Gupta, brought together 85+ women employees to let go, laugh, and truly engage with one another. The room was filled with a kind of joy that felt effortless.

Born with Down syndrome, Gayatri’s journey has been one of courage, supported deeply by her family. She is usually most comfortable in the presence of her mother. But that day, something shifted.

As the session unfolded, Gayatri found a new sense of comfort with Chaitali. She held her hand, gently moving across the room, stopping by each participant, sharing smiles and moments over their mindless art. It was natural, unforced, and quietly beautiful.

From a distance, her mother, Shalini, watched with a smile and a sense of awe, witnessing a connection so pure and precious. That session didn’t just create art, but bonds that words can hardly capture and isn’t that what inclusion is all about?

This week’s newsletter is a reality check.

Gayatri, a person with Down syndrome, is leading art sessions and inspiring rooms full of people. Kavita, with a locomotor disability, refused to stop trying, no matter how many times the world asked her to. And we are now sharing a stage with Hon'ble' PM Narendra Modi.

Different journeys. Different challenges. One common truth: the only thing that truly stops you is only when you decide to stop.

Let’s understand what Down syndrome is with the help of a simple example.

Imagine you’re following a recipe to bake a cake. Most people have one copy of the recipe. A person with Down syndrome has an extra copy of the same recipe page. Because of that, they might take a bit longer to follow the steps or do things slightly differently, but they can still bake a beautiful cake in the end.

Down syndrome is a condition a person is born with. Usually, our body’s cells have 46 chromosomes that guide our body on how to grow and function. A person with Down syndrome has an extra copy of chromosome number 21. Because of this extra “instruction,” their body and brain develop a little differently. They may learn things more slowly, have certain physical features, and might need a bit more support, but they can still go to school, work, build friendships, and live happy, meaningful lives.

Let’s come together to celebrate individuals with Down syndrome, recognizing their abilities, individuality, and the joy they bring to the world. Not just for today, but every day, starting today.

Divya Shankar was born prematurely in her sixth month, weighing just one kilogram. She was diagnosed with Down syndrome and, for the first few years of her life, showed almost no developmental milestones. She couldn’t sit, speak, or respond when called. Determined to help her, her parents began years of physiotherapy and speech therapy. But things started to change when, on a doctor’s suggestion, they introduced her to dance therapy to help her understand expressions and emotions.

Divya began responding to the rhythm of songs sung by her brother, and her parents decided to enrol her in a dance school. The school initially refused to teach a student with a disability and only allowed her to observe the classes. But within seven months, Divya surprised everyone by performing her Bharatanatyam Arangetram, a debut stage performance usually reserved for students who have trained for years.

Today, she holds two records in the India Book of Records: One in 2019 for a two-hour solo Bharatanatyam recital and another in 2025 for a 1.5-hour Mohiniyattam recital. Divya is a living example of what courage and perseverance can achieve.

A proud moment for the team at Atypical Advantage, when Vineet shared a common platform with PM Narendra Modi.

Recognizing the organisation’s continued work in creating livelihood and employment opportunities for persons with disabilities, the Department of Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities under the Ministry of Social Justice & Empowerment, GOI, invited Vineet Saraiwala, Founder & CEO of Atypical Advantage, to participate as a panelist in the Post-Budget Webinar on Divyangjan Kaushal Yojana.

The session was organised to gather key stakeholder insights on implementing the government’s vision for employment-linked skilling of persons with disabilities, especially across sectors like IT, AVGC, hospitality, and food & beverages.

This invitation is a step forward in ensuring that conversations around inclusion translate into real, scalable opportunities.
