It's fascinating how this article aligns with my discussion this morning about taking accessibility awareness events beyond the usual circles of advocates and enthusiasts to mainstream audiences like engineering colleges, educational institutions, and business owners. By doing so, we can educate future professionals about accessibility principles, influence decision-makers to prioritize inclusive design, and foster a culture of inclusion that benefits everyone. This shift can lead to tangible change, moving beyond mere awareness to actual implementation and accountability, ultimately making digital landscapes more accessible for all.

Digital India. But for whom? It’s #GAAD2025 and the Supreme Court just ruled that digital access is a fundamental right. Sounds like progress? Maybe. But try telling that to the blind professional who lost a job offer because the onboarding portal wasn’t screen-reader friendly. 👉 Accessibility isn’t a favour. It’s a right. 👉 Awareness isn’t the issue. Action is. In my latest piece I ask: 🔹 Who’s accountable for inaccessible tech? 🔹 Why do we still need lawsuits to be heard? 🔹 And when will inclusion replace inspiration porn? No more beta features. No more broken promises. Read: “Oh My GAAD!
