Despite losing his sight to glaucoma at 19, Divyanshu Ganatra refused to settle for the dire work prospects on offer and instead started an adventure sports not-for-profit organization open to everyone, but particularly those faced with disability-related stigma in India.
‘For us, sport is just a tool to bring about change,’ says Ganatra, the founder of Adventures Beyond Barriers Foundation (ABBF). ‘We’re creating experiences that challenge perspectives and invite you to see another world that coexists.’ ABBF has taken over 154,000 adrenaline junkies, including 4,000 people with disabilities, on inclusive expeditions across India since 2014.
