Srikanth Bolla was visually impaired since birth, but that didn’t stop him from acquiring the education that he wanted. He wanted to take science as a subject in 12th, but was not allowed to do so. However, he filed a case, and later he was allowed to pursue the subject at his own risk. He surprised everyone when he scored 98% in 12th boards. But, the journey ahead was more difficult.
Sri was denied admission to coaching institutes for Indian Institute of Technology because he is blind. But, he attended Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he was the first international blind student. In 2011, he co-founded Samanvai Center for Children with multiple disabilities.
It was in 2012 when he started his organisation Bollant Industries. His company manufactures areca-based products and gives employment to hundreds people with disabilities.
