A conversation with Sarah Santamaria Founder and CEO of Diya Foundation, and Suman John, co-founder and CEO of Diya Innovations - sister organizations providing life skills and employment to the adults with intellectual disabilities. We hear about the history and creation of both organizations; how Sarah and Suman cultivate impact both at a professional and personal level; the moments that have made them proud, particularly seeing the transformation in the lives of their students and employees, who now through their own incomes, contribute to their families finances; and how Sarah and Suman have used Diya to create a collaborative platform engaging with others in the sector across the state of Karnataka, to raise the bar and possibilities of including the differently abled into the workforce.
