Meet Srikanth Bolla, who was born blind and then went on to earn a Master's degree from MIT, Cambridge, in Business Management. He then built his own company, Bollant Industries, which employs more than 1,500 physically challenged people and generates revenue of over ₹500 crores ($52 million).
Born in 1992 in Seetharamapuram, Andhra Pradesh, after Class 10, he wanted to pursue the science stream. The state board said, "Blind students can't study science," and denied him admission. He fought legally and became the first blind student in Andhra Pradesh to study science with mathematics. He scored 98%.
He always wanted to go to IIT, but IIT coaching centres denied him admission, saying they didn't know how to teach him and that he was not fit to study engineering. Through the support of mentors, he later applied to the MIT Sloan School of Management, Cambridge, completed his Master's degree, and became the first international blind student at MIT.
After MIT, instead of taking a corporate job, he returned to India in 2012. He started Bollant Industries with just ₹4 lakhs. The idea was to make eco-friendly products from areca palm leaf waste.
Today, Bollant Industries employs more than 1,500 people, with 60% of them being persons with disabilities. The company's valuation has crossed ₹500+ crores. Its clients include ITC, Future Group, and Big Bazaar and he is now happily married.

@CodeWithAmann Whichever removes more operator time. At $1k a month I care less about headline quality and more about reliability, tool use, and how often I need to babysit it.
