Eyeway Conversations with Sushmeetha Bubna
In this episode of our podcast Eyeway Conversations, George Abraham engages in an inspiring dialogue with Mumbai-based social entrepreneur, Sushmeetha Bubna. Sushmita's resilience and determination shine through her remarkable journey, despite facing progressive vision loss that led to complete blindness by the age of 24.
Undeterred by her challenges, Sushmeetha pursued education fervently, earning a degree in commerce and a Diploma in Administrative Management. Her entry into her family's technology driven business was a defining moment. However, losing her eyesight in 1997 became a catalyst for her mission: addressing the scarcity of resources for individuals like herself.
In 2000, Sushmeetha founded Voice Vision, a non-profit dedicated to empowering visually impaired individuals by equipping many students with computer skills, soft abilities, and corporate proficiencies. This initiative has opened doors to employment, financial independence, and societal integration. In 2013, she initiated Voice Vision's matrimony project to address the lack of platforms for disabled individuals seeking life partners. Her annual matrimonial meets, including the upcoming Purple Fest 2024 event, emphasize inclusivity and aim to engage more female candidates through diverse outreach strategies. Moreover,
Sushmeetha's latest venture, FAIYDA, an online marketplace, provides artists with disabilities a platform to sell their handcrafted products directly to discerning customers.
Beyond her entrepreneurial ventures,
Sushmeetha conducts sensitization sessions, fostering awareness about vision impairment and disabilities. Her engaging approach, combining humor, love for travel, and quality family time, underscores her ability to connect and inspire. Join us to hear about her journey and firsthand experiences.
