She is hard of hearing, and although she studied in mainstream educational institutions in India, it was only when she went abroad to study that she realized how much difference access to classrooms and workplaces can make. When she returned to India and found that the same access was not available to her at her workplace, she started looking for other deaf professionals or an organization that could help her navigate this lack of access.
Her research led her to deaf schools, where the quality of education was lacking primarily because students did not have access to classroom instructions and curriculum. This prompted her to establish the Sanket Foundation, with a focus on accessible and quality education, access in all areas of daily living, and improving the quality of life and workplace experience for deaf and hard of hearing people in India.
