In this episode of Eyeway Conversations, host George Abraham speaks with Megha Rakhecha, an insurance professional from Kolkata who is working to make insurance accessible for persons with visual impairment.

Megha shares how many blind and visually impaired individuals are often denied insurance policies due to misconceptions about risk. Through her work with multiple insurers, she is actively advocating for change—helping insurance companies understand that disability should not automatically translate into higher risk or exclusion.

She also reflects on her personal journey—from being diagnosed with vision loss at a young age, facing barriers in higher education, exploring different passions, and eventually finding her path in financial services and entrepreneurship.

• Why many visually impaired individuals are denied insurance policies

• Her efforts to work with insurers to make term and health insurance more accessible

• The difference between life insurance, term insurance, and health insurance

• Why transparency about disability and medical history is important when applying for insurance

• Her personal journey with vision loss and navigating education barriers

• Dropping out of college and later returning to complete her graduation

• Why financial planning and insurance awareness are important for persons with disabilities

This episode is a must-watch for persons with disabilities, families seeking financial security, and anyone interested in understanding how insurance can become more inclusive.
