Social Entrepreneurs: APPLY TO IISE!

Wherever we go around the country, people ask us “When will Enable India start up in this part of the country. When will your model be implemented here?”. We have always been stumped for an answer for a long time. We are now convinced that the best way to implement our vision is via SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURS who have fire in their belly, passion and vision to match it and who are willing to persevere. Given this, it was a pleasure to visit IISE in Trivandrum recently where there were many visually impaired entrepreneurs and some sighted entrepreneurs who have gone through an 11 month course to become an entrepreneur. It was a privilege to interact with entrepreneurs from around the world – from Africa, Mongolia, China, India etc. They were very interested in replicating some of the models, methodology, curriculum built at Enable India. Many thanks to Braille Without Borders for starting such an initiative. Is there anybody out there interested in being an entrepreneur and with a vision? Are you looking for training? – APPLY NOW to IISE!

Specifically for Enable India’s vision – people who have a similar vision of economic independence and dignity for persons with disability, please do apply to IISE. Enable India will be one of the places where IISE will send interns for hands-on experience. You will hence be provided internship opportunities at our premise. APPLY NOW before it is late for 2011. Spread the word. Good luck.

A Letter

Hi Friends,

As you might know that today I have joined Goldman Sachs and thus would like to thank you all at this moment for all your support extended during last 6 months and creating such an excellent and unique environment which I always enjoyed.

Joining Enable India and working here has been a turning point of my life and will always inspire me forever to work toward the empowerment of PWD.  According to my view this is one of the best N.G.O. of the country which I have seen in my life. Now my association with Enable India has been turned into a life-long relationship and I will always
feel honoured to work for this great organisation in the future at any time and at any stage.

At Enable India, I have had the pleasure of working with some of the passionate, hard-workers and kindness people that probably have ever existed in a workplace.

I salute Enable India and its team for its relentless mission of creating accessible environment and employment for PWD. I personally know that it is a very difficult task which Enable India is doing with such a high commitment, dedication and passion.

Thanks once again,

With Best Regards,
Saurabh Malav

Congratulations, Saurabh! Here’s wishing you all the very best!

Enable India – campus recruitment for companies!

For a long time – we have been asking companies to consider us as a “campus”. Companies always go to premier colleges and hire freshers from there. Our logic was that persons with disability also need access to the company’s fresher hiring process. They may not have had access to the premier institutes but they need to be given opportunities similar to other freshers.

Mphasis (thanks to Meenu Bhambani and many others) has chosen EnAble India as a campus this year. Today, we have just tested the waters with 30 candidates with different disabilities giving online tests in 5 cities (Bangalore, Chennai, Delhi, Hyderabad, Orissa) across India. The 5 cities were possible due to many like minded partners such as V-Shesh in Chennai, Sarthak in Delhi and Mahindra Satyam Foundation in Hyderabad and a volunteer in Orissa. Those who pass the tests will be interviewed in the next couple of days and hopefully get offers. Due to paucity of time, we were not able to give comprehensive training this time, but instead conducted a quick online aptitude test preparation with the help of volunteers.

For next year, we expect more companies to also join and plan to have many more candidates. We plan to start the preparatory work from June itself. This will give the candidates and us ample time for better conversion to placements.. Inshallah ho jayega! Do spread the word regarding this so that candidates know about this.

I love the team!

It is a pleasure to work with a committed and passionate staff. As a cohesive team, we achieve so much more, don’t you think? However, for a long time, I know that the team I work with is much larger than just the EnAble India staff. There is a team around the country working tirelessly for persons with disability. Some of them are known to me and most of them are unknown.

Who are they? The many specialists who have helped persons with disability attain their rehabilitation, education and more. Many folks who have done research on the disabled and from whose work we are benefiting. Many activists who are getting hurdles out of the way for persons with disability. Many NGO personnel and volunteers at the NGOs who are contributing their time. Many media personnel spreading awareness. Many persons with disability who are role models. Many parents who have worked with their child for years. And so many many more… All of us are working towards the same common goals though we may not know each other. I derive strength and inspiration from this team.
