In today’s episode of Figuring Out, we have Srikanth Bolla in conversation with Raj Shamani.
He is the Founder and Chairman of Bollant Industries. He is the first international blind student in Management Science at the Sloan School of Management of Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
In this episode, we talked about Srikanth’s childhood, how after his birth people around him told his parents to leave him, and how kids in his school would corner him but throughout this all, his parents supported him. He also shared how he deals with bullies and disrespect with sarcasm and optimism. He shared his story of how he met Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam and why he calls him his hero. We also talked about how IIT coaching institutes rejected him and how then his mentors helped him to get into MIT. He further talked about what are some changes that the Indian education system needs to make to get better and the difference between education abroad and in India.
Towards the end, we talked about how one can become a better leader, how he started Bollant industries, what was his vision behind it, and how he hires people. We talked about his biopic ‘Srikanth’ and what all Rajkummar Rao did to prepare for his role. We ended our conversation by talking about how he met his wife and got to know that she was the one. For more such inspiring episodes. Don’t forget to subscribe to our channel.

[@sabinathomas6314]

An absolute inspiration. I would love for Srikant to be our education minister , imagine the reforms he will bring .

[@Dreamdetermination000]

My left eye is squint, so I feel always demotivated why God maked me like this , I don't go outside from my house, I am not able to talk to anyone and contact eye to eye, but this video change my whole vision and pull me to get motivated for my dream, thankyou Raj samani sir for inviting him❤❤❤

[@bhawarvidyasingh]

Look, Having blind eyes and saying that Blind people can do anything is a foolish talk. Srikanth is an exemption don't follow rare stories BUT Having 1 eye and 1 ear is enough to live life perfectly without literally taking help of any person. There might be two scenarios either you've full vision in right eye or having partial vision. In both circumstances, you are in a good position untill 6/36 with Eyeglasses and N10 For near vision. Don't get demotivate, I have 1 eye, 1 ear with right eye having only 6/36 Glass vision and it is enough to live life independently. Some limitations may be in your life but it is negligible. All you need is to understand that 1 eye vision is sufficient untill 6/36. Only 1 problem which I am facing is constant surgery regularly due to Glucoma, 11 till now (21 age) and might go more than in total 16 surgeries in lifetime. These were the time where you will get down otherwise no problem at all. U can reach me on IG @bhawarvidyasingh whenever you feels down. Stay blessed and happy 💗💗💗

[@Dreamdetermination000]

@@bhawarvidyasingh I am 18years old. I am not able to talk to people confidently. I always leave alone. Even I am not able to talk with cousin directly eye contact. Because of squint eye ( tirchaa aankh) , my friends and my neighbour makes upon Me fun and comment on my squint eye they tell me where Are you watching. When I talk with someone I always feel that what will they thinking about me. I think my life is full of waste why God make me, I am studying alone in my room whole day, Without interact with anyone. Sometimes I goes into the dipression and try to suicide myself but the condition of family is not allowing me to do this. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

He is a brilliant, kind-hearted, and very humble man like Dr. Abdul Kalam Sir. I learned a lot from this legendary man. I felt my weakness very little when I saw him. My weakness is nothing in front of this kind of people who have some kind of disability in any form. These disabled people are Legend for us and they must get an award to live life with their disabilities. It's a very big challenge for them to live life with some kind of disability. They are real Heroes in the Lots of blessings, love, wishes, and respect from my side to all disabled people in the world 🤗❤️💖🙏👏👍 God bless you all of them.🙏

[@karanzd]

My story is 75% similar, Srikant is rarest so am I. There are many such gems. Sadly, in this election season ..don’t wanted it to be political but our politicians are indeed Blind in all the aspects. Inclusion is still not accepted in India in any way anywhere (just for namesake / CSR act) unless one is a fighter like him and self. 99% of such population still live horrible life. Point .98% takes help from so called money minting NGOs. 0.01% are indeed fighters! And that’s why such podcast is happening. I believe I can write above comment safter my own achievements against all Indian odds.
