Dear Listeners, In this episode of Eyeway Conversations, George Abraham speaks with Nidheesh Philip, co-founder of EquiBeing Foundation. Based in Bangalore, the non-profit works on five key pillars: sports, education, social perception change, livelihood, and research—focusing on persons with disabilities.
Nidheesh shares how EquiBeing trains blind children in swimming for safety and endurance, builds digital literacy and communication skills across schools in Karnataka and Kerala, and explores livelihood training for young people with visual impairment. He also talks about their advocacy work, including a recent study on accessibility of banking services in Bangalore. Beyond his professional role, Nidheesh opens up about growing up blind in Kerala, pursuing social work at Tata Institute of Social Sciences, and navigating a government job before moving into the social sector.
