Dear Listeners, Can persons with visual impairment get life or health insurance? In the latest episode of Eyeway Conversations, George Abraham speaks with Megha Rakhecha, an insurance professional from Kolkata who is working to change how the insurance industry views disability. Megha explains that many visually impaired individuals are often denied insurance simply because of outdated assumptions about risk. Through her work, she is engaging with insurers and helping them understand that disability should not mean exclusion from financial protection. She also speaks candidly about her own journey—from being diagnosed with vision loss at a young age, navigating barriers in higher education, exploring creative pursuits, and eventually building a career in the financial services sector. In this episode, you’ll hear about: * Why visually impaired people often face challenges getting insurance * How insurers can make policies more inclusive * The difference between life, term, and health insurance * Why financial planning is important for persons with disabilities * Megha’s journey through education, entrepreneurship, and advocacy Watch or listen to the full episode here: Youtube: https://youtu.be/85jlqrrEWLQ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/3iGiiKwCjLBBrxFss03ZuT?si=ld-3MxRmTQygbKBaE3rOmA If you or someone you know needs guidance on living with blindness, call the Eyeway National Helpline: 8800 004 334 To support our work with persons with visual impairment, visit: www.scorefoundation.org.in<http://www.scorefoundation.org.in> Warm regards, Team Eyeway Conversations Score Foundation -- Shaba Manzoor Communication Executive Score Foundation 17/107, Vikram Vihar Lajpat Nagar-4 New Delhi-110024 Website: www.eyeway.org.in<http://www.eyeway.org/>; www.scorefoundation.org.in<http://www.scorefoundation.org.in/> Eyeway Helpdesk: 8800004334 (Monday to Friday 10 am to 5pm) Telephone No. 011-41600330 -- Disclaimer: 1.
