The conversation opened up to the room during the panel Q&A at #Mannifest.

Moderated by Aradhana Lal, with insights from Vivek Venkatachalam, Robin Chhabra, and Raj Mariwala, the discussion explored what it truly takes to move from inclusion to equity.

Ketan Kothari from XRCVC – Xavier’s Resource Centre for the Visually Challenged invited participants to pause and see the world through a different lens.

It was a powerful reminder that accessibility is not just about infrastructure, it begins with perspective.

A thought to begin the day at #Mannifest2026

“When you change the way you see things, the things you see change.”
- Sudhir Shenoy

Sometimes inclusion begins with something as simple, and as difficult, as changing perspective.

30+ years advancing disability inclusion — across education, tech, and policy.

Ketan Kothari’s work has shaped systems, shifted mindsets, and strengthened access with dignity.

Meet Huafrid - world-first swims, Ironman podiums, International titles.

But more than records, he speaks about the intersection of sport, disability & mental health.

At Mannifest 2026, this is impact in motion.

30+ years. One clear belief: dignity, not sympathy.

Meenakshi Balasubramanian’s work in disability inclusion — from the Spastics Society of India to founding MBA Foundation — continues to redefine quality and access.

Opportunity doesn’t design itself - systems do.

At #Mannifest2026, Dr. Naima will speak on building disability-inclusive systems where skilling leads to real employment and inclusion is embedded, not added on.

From intent to impact.

Inclusion isn’t an add-on.
It’s infrastructure.
Raj Mariwala brings systems thinking and care to #Mannifest2026.

[mann.org.in @mann_org]

Spaces shape how we feel. How we feel shapes how we work.

@DextrusOfficial founder Robin Chhabra believes design can create belonging — and he's bringing that thinking to #Mannifest2026

[mann.org.in @mann_org]

Strong organisations aren’t built in a rush.

Vivek Venkatachalam brings a steady, long-term lens on leadership, resilience, and building workplaces that endure - and include.

Before inclusion had hashtags, @AradhanaLal was building it.

Two decades. Real systems. Real belonging.

At #Mannifest2026, she keeps the conversation practical — and real.

On 25th Feb, expect honest conversations on courage, discomfort & belonging.

[mann.org.in @mann_org]

From global boardrooms to grassroots inclusion.

Sudhir Shenoy now focuses on disability inclusion through #AbleTogether #ABBF, #SVPIndia, and #Karmann - his brainchild proving inclusive employment works.

Leadership, redirected towards purpose.
